The main effect that i see is that we would be

Is everyone happy with that.
Yes.
Being Apache committers they should and will behave with all the needed
respect to our project.
They should.
I agree with this proposal. But I would go further.
And i thought that just this much was radical.
:-))
I would propose that commit access is given to all Apache committers; I
don't see why Lenya or Cocoon committers have more "merit" than any
other at Apache.
I would like to remind all that Gump has the same pattern of access, and
nobody screwed the codebase.
That is only for /gump/metadata/ i.e. the gump records
for each project.
And Forrest does not yet have an equivalent.
Furthermore, being Forrest used in so many
Apache projects, it makes sense to open to them too, so that they can
help if they need it.
How come they haven't sent patches. That is not
hard for committers.
There is a barrier to entry that we could remove.

I'm +1 for giving Lenya + Cocoon commit access. We will be working with
them both to create Doco (Forrest + Lenya) and site-build
(http://people.apache.org/~rgardler/site-build/summary.html)
I'm -0 giving all Apache folk access. We are not currently working
closely with them. However, Maybe we could revist the simple committer
thread with this case in mind.
