For Lucene anyway (and I suspect most/all ASF projects?), there is an 
(out-of-band) trace: the archive of log messages emailed to 
[email protected].

With this permanent record, I think that the value of the ability to fix 
misinformation outweighs the risk of evil-doers changing history.

So it won’t be me notifying infra.  Not that it matters much for Lucene/Solr at 
this point, since we’re mostly moving to Git anyway.  (IIUC, our CMS and 
release stuff has to stay on SVN.)
