Are we (i.e. new PMC members) able to do that? Just tried to do a commit to
see if it would work but got an error message. Have a feeling that none of
the new PMC members have write access (yet).

commit -m "Fixing JIRA Issue #709:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-709. Changes to a comment to
correct a doxygen bug. Patch thanks to Steven Hathaway."
