Hi, I have recently read this interesting blog post [1] that describes the social problem behind commit access in relation to the distributed version control model that is used, e.g. by Github.
In Stanbol we have the situation that we encourage people to contribute engines but once they were contributed the very same people should also be able to maintain their engine. Otherwise we face the situation of unmaintained engines where the original contributor is not available anymore. I was wondering if it would be a good idea and technically possible to give people commit access to the enhancement-engines dir in the SVN if they just ask for it. These people would not become PMC members this way. They just get access to a sub path of the repo to contribute their engine. This way they can keep on working on their engines easily. WDYT?
