Wouldn't a developer still have to commit stuff like that into CVS?​

​I've written Xastir related scripts before, but I've never tried to get
them into the repository.  I did show Curt a revised version of the ads-b
script a while back, but that was an attempt to get him to incorporate some
or all of my changes into his - not to add a separate script to the repo.
Did some non-Developers have the rights to commit changes into CVS?
