Looking over the responses to the round 1,

it was my feeling that the consensus leaned toward the "Taglibs" model.
Committers have access in fact, but practice discourages people form
running in and hacking a codebase you haven't worked on. And, after all,
we do have the CVS to help protect us from ourselves ;-).

We are modifying the Tabligs model slightly, in that we are asking the
active committers to a package list themselves in the status file.
Again, reinforcing that working on a package is a commitment, and not a
casual hack, and that each package is an entity unto itself.

This also eliminates the overhead of a person with sufficient clearance
(like Brian B) being bothered every time we need to upgrade someone's
access.
