I agree in the perfect case.

But in practice, we have a lot more patch submitters than we have
maintainers, and not all "leaf developers" necessarily know how to do
everything.

So the maintainer should probably expect to fix things up. Not always,
but also not a "the developer should have done this, so I won't do it"

This isn't so different from the fact that not everybody writes
English proficiently - people do hopefully end up fixing things up as
they get passed onwards.
