Subject: [ruby-core:33880] As platform mantainer - what are my boundaries?

Hello,

I was reading the Wiki in relation to roles and responsibilities, and
wanted to have a better understanding on what are the
boundaries/limits of my role.

For example, on Issue #4203:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4203

A bug introduced in Ruby 1.9.2 render Win32::Registry.create useless

I've committed the fix in trunk, as it indeed corrected the issue, and
created a backport #4205:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4205

Assigned it to Ruby 1.9.2 maintainer, Yui NARUSE.

I was wondering if due the Windows nature of the bug, should I
backport myself, or that will be a violation of these boundaries?

If I interpret the correctly the policies, is up to release
maintainers to determine which commits can or should be backported.
Since we're talking about a bug, I assume it should.

Thank you in advance for your time reading this and I'll appreciate
any comment about the workflow.

Regards,
