Perhaps I was not clear. There can be any number people with "push"
access to a project. You can see contributors listed under the
"members" area on the project home page.

What you cannot have more than one committer to, is the server-side
clones listed on the same project. These are the clones created if you
click the "source" tab on the google code page, then hit the "create a
clone" button. You can see a few dozen clones on the Vim project page,
on the "source" tab, under "Clones". These clones can only have a
single contributor. If the runtime repository was a full clone of the
Vim repository, it would make sense to have it listed under this
"Clones" area...except that these clones only get a single committer,
so that's not really an option.

It would be easy enough to create a new project on Google Code which
is really a clone of the Vim repository, but the two projects would
not (as far as I know, and as far as Google Code is concerned) be
linked in any way.
