The problem with this is that it completely changes the psychology of the project. I am a firm believer in giving everyone absolute, but limited, power in the project. Everyone is a master of some small slice. If you always have to get someone else's ok to do stuff, the feeling within the projects changes a lot. I think another point of dissent would be username issues. 'rasmus' was already taken on github, for example, so 10+ years of commits under 'rasmus' now needs to be mapped to some other user id? That doesn't sound appealing. -Rasmus
