The phrase "in general" was meant to indicate that it was not a rigid
policy, but... well, a general one, which was understood may not apply
in exceptional circumstances.

Sure, but is this not already covered by the section at the end of "The
meaning of nesting"? Or are you specifically thinking of a case where
1) you write the fix, and 2) nobody from THE REST is around to provide
an "stand-in for the more specific maintainer" Ack?
If the latter, we can certainly add some text to say that in such an
exceptional circumstance, a committer may act unilaterally.
I think in general, first the specific maintainer's Ack ought to be
sought; and if that cannot be found, then a then more general
maintainer's Ack should be sought; and if there is nobody from the most
general set of maintainers (THE REST) other than the submitter of the
patch, then the submitter/committer should make a call as to whether to
act unilaterally or to wait. In all cases where a more general
maintainer has stood in for a more specific maintainer, they should be
prepared to defend their choice.
Is that what you had in mind?
-George
