Hi Vincent,
You don't need to ask for permission to be a committer. Because you are already a
member of the Commons subproject, you simply need to add your name to the STATUS.html
file when you are ready to perform a commit.
As for your suggestions, some of them I like, some of them I'm not so crazy about. In
particular, I'd rather not spark an undoubtedly protracted discussion of coding
conventions. We all have our own style, and at the end of the day it doesn't matter
much if you indent with two spaces or four.
