It's all clear now.

I think the approach that Nathan implemented [1] for TOAST tables
in the latest version can be used for partitioned tables as well.
Skipping the privilege check for partitions while working with
a partitioned table. In that case we would get exactly the same behavior
as for INSERT, SELECT, etc privileges - the MAINTAIN privilege would 
work for
the whole partitioned table, but not for individual partitions.
