I'm not sure I understand the issue. There are indeed a few commits
from David to the Emacs repository from 2004-2006, but that was when
Emacs used CVS, so the distinction between author and committer might
not have been possible. Someone might have committed those changes,
and the subsequent conversion to bzr and then to Git could have caused
the committer be recorded as David.
I don't see David in the list of members of the Emacs project at this
time.

If the request was approved, it's possible that we removed David from
the group after he was inactive for a long time.

So you are saying that adding David to some unrelated project will
grant him write access to the Emacs repository? Or am I
misunderstanding?
