Anyone *who is already a member* can add a member.  If you don't trust  
your devs, who do you trust? ;)

I would like for OSGeo to provide git-svn and git services (to go  
along with Trac) in the near future (within a year).  Distributed  
version control fits some projects much better than subversion.

You should be able to delete me without fuss.

Yes, I think we can do this, although it is a bit more involved.   
Additionally, ssl would have to be dealt with if you want ssl.  A nice  
thing about everyone on the same host is many folks only have to  
accept one SSL cert, remember one password, and remember one URL for a  
bunch of repositories.  A downside of this is if we make geotools'  
administration too special, it may get lost in the mix if we were to  
move our services, etc.  We (OSGeo SAC committee) chose a single URL  
for subversion and a single URL for trac (rather than giving each  
project their own URLs for both) to make extension and addition easier  
and so we had regularized access to services.
