Don't be timid :-).
Seriously: you have as much "right" to commit as any committer. And
you are as responsible for what you commit as any committer. So when
you're unsure of a specific change, you should ask first, and when
you're pretty confident, you can go ahead and commit it -- this is how
everyone else operates too. And if there's ever a vote among the full
committers (rare, but who knows), then your vote counts the same as
anyone else's.
You might inadvertently commit something problematic (most of us have
done it once or twice). If that happens, we just revert it and
discuss, no big deal.
