That may only be the list of individuals that have write access to the 
repository. The project may be managed similar to the way projects on 
SourceForge are: anyone may have read access to the repository, but only 
a limited number of individuals have write access, and those few 
individuals are responsible for reviewing changes and incorporating them 
into the tree. This scheme works internally as well as with the public 
at large, and helps maintain some minimum level of quality. If  dozens, 
hundreds, or thousands of people had simultaneous access to the 
repository, chaos would ensue as people would be making changes all over 
the place to suit their needs...
