Well, i disagree with that. Or rather, let's take it the other way around, i believe that the d-i folk have no right to withdraw the svn commit access. > That doesnt even attach only to you.

Does it belong to a small elite, or do it belong to the debian community as a whole. The next question this asks is one of equality and fairness. Are all DDs equal ? Or are there not ? And if so, what is used to create hierarchies of DDs ? Upto now, my understanding was that not all DDs are equal in facts, because of the time and technical skills they are able to give to debian. People being able to do more good work where defacto 'superior' to other DDs with less time, because they where more able to dictate technical choices. But rejecting someone or someone's work based on social conflit, to the detriment of our users, i strongly believe that this is anathema to what debian should be, altough i know there are precedents.
