In principle, yes. I'd need to be persuaded that the net was positive -
that the rest of you got sped up more than I got slowed down. Past
experience makes me skeptical of such claims.
The perspective of a noob might be helpful here: Before I was allowed to
push to master I routinely had to stop work for hours (a couple times >1
day) because I needed to make a commit and there was no one around to
merge it. I am not aware of any change in my bug production rate around
the increased permissions that isn't directly attributable to generally
increased experience.
I am unsure of how "the rest of us" will be more productive if even the
noobs are randomly ground to a halt waiting.
