I don't think this would greatly increase security, since the current review model would still be the better defense. But surely this doesn't decrease security and doesn't impact on people who are not using it.

I see also no problem if we handle it more careful and give svn access
to the code on demand only. Nobody should take it personal

Before we manage again to make simple discussions complex, let's see:
- All committers have the right to have write access to the source code
- By default 3 subtrees (trunk, tags, branches) are read-only
- Any committer can receive write access to the 3 subtrees immediately, by sending an e-mail here

This could be fine for me, provided that:

1) We have the right way to manage this (another LDAP group does not look like the right solution: people who don't want to understand correctly will invent that this is a multi-level hierarchy while it would simply be a permission that we enable on demand)

2) Enabling write access is extremely simple, especially if this is something that I must take care of! Something like the current "modify_unix_group.pl" scripts currently used for the committers group.

Regards,
  Andrea.
