Hi Joona!

First off, thank you for your contributions to QGIS! They are certainly
valued and highly appreciated.

Can you explain a little more about why you desire commit rights to the
QGIS repo, and why this can't be met via pull requests?

Unfortunately, in the light of the recent xz hacking mess, I think the QGIS
project needs to be **extremely** cautious about granting additional rights
to **anyone** for the repositories, and treat this as an extreme measure
only done when absolutely necessary. It's the sad reality of the world we
currently live in. ☹️
