As I said, Peter himself is the only one who could either commit that
code to E or grant permission in writing for it to be done.  That one
person then becomes the roadblock -- what if he gets busy?  What if he
wins the lottery? gets hit by a bus?

The point is, it shouldn't be necessary for something like that to
have to happen in order to move code around in the project's own
repository, particularly as often as things get re-shuffled around
here. :)
