Hi all,

Lewis asked me on IRC to reply, so a short reaction.

I would change community consensus to 'no objection'. It's OK if code
quality isn't perfect, it just shouldn't be horrible.

Additionally, 'submitted a few good patches' really depends on what
the person wants to do. In general, I'm OK with giving anyone access,
as long as the person is reactive to comments on his/hers commits.
This is, IMO, reallly more important than having lots of patches
submitted.

Last, but not least - people who have access to the other repositories
on svn.wikimedia.org also have access to the pwb repository. I think
it would be a good idea to give these people 'official' access - i.e.
if you commit to mediawiki, you're allowed to commit to
pywikipediabot, too.

Best regards,
Merlijn
