This is what I don't understand. On one hand you say one needs to make a convincing enough request, so that it may be granted by admins such as yourself. To me, that sounds reasonable-ish (with some reserves, but certainly different to yours) as I can't imagine that commit access to a project like PHP is handed out left and right to anybody who wants it. But in the same breath you also say that's a low bar. If that's a low bar (to which I don't agree, but I also don't make these decisions so idk), then perhaps the vetting process itself should be revised. How can you trust your peers to grant commit access, but not a say in how things should go forward? That's a contradiction to me. > That's all.
