Gee, I think SVN can grant permissions on a branch basis. This must be an Apache commit policy. Creating and integrating patches against a branch is much preferable to diff-diffing. If we had a feature branch, any one of the committers could commit the various branch patches, presumably without as much due diligence as required for a trunk commit.

Uploading and applying patches really is the way to go.
