Ah, now I see what you're saying.  I actually agree.  My idea is to
encourage and default to w/r, not impose it.  I assume that many projects
are read-only, not because of a desire of the maintainer, but just because
that's the default in SqS.  Why not default to r/w, making life easier for
the community, and admins can select read-only if they want.
