I think that is totally not true.. you can't tell if a person is a hacker just because they do a couple of good patches..
No, but it does make it harder for them to get cvs access. Today I could request cvs access just for kicks (remember from junior high "Is Ivana Tinkle in the building?"), having it be a little harder does significantly decrease the likeliness of PHP being hacked (all though doesn't altogether eliminate it) and it also makes sure that the person isn't requesting access just for a single patch or maybe a few patches over a three year period... -Sterling
