broken a confidence or otherwise behaved in a way which leads to loss of
privileges or access, the two people who vouched for them also lose

I would support this proposal. It maps well to how we handle other
forms of trust (commit access, module ownership, etc), which has
served us well as a project. I share Dirkjan's concern that
timeliness needs to be considered, however I think that can be dealt
with through a probationary period (maybe a year) after which vouchers
wouldn't pay a penalty.
I support Gerv's proposal as well, for reasons that may be only
semantically different from Connor's that I'm going to elaborate anyway:
that it meets a minimalist expression of our immediate needs, that it's
built on people trusting people rather than on an elaborate policy, and
that by virtue of that we'll be able to ship a viable implementation
quickly without much administrative overhead.
Move quickly, trust our people, minimum viable everything.
