The fact remains that you participated in a JBoss fork. This shows a complete lack of commitment to the JBoss project and community. You have lost the trust of the JBoss project admins.
Frankly Bill, I don't see what good removing their CVS commit priviledge is going to do: now if they want to maintain anything, they must do so in a fork. It's LGPL'ed, so the only real restriction is that any modifications be publicly available.
As far as trust goes, what about the ability of the user community to trust the JBoss project admins? Regardless of the nobility of your motivation in taking this action, if you look at it through the eyes of a user, it simply looks like the JBoss Group, LLC. got pissed off because some people left and started abusing their position as JBoss project admins to mess with them. This doesn't help anybody.
Just my observations...
