Strictly speaking GLEP 40 forbids it still, although some arch teams
have made announcements to approve it, see e.g [1,2]. I wouldn't be
surprised if one of the results of the stable WG is an updated GLEP 40
that (new GLEP replacing existing) that allows for MAINTAINER
self-stabilization. Personally I don't like "any developer may perform"
part of it. The maintainer is responsible, and should at least ack
stabilization at all before anything is stabilized (for arch-team
stabilization as well), and consequently individual stabilizations by
developers, either the maintainer itself or someone with applicable
hardware.
