Also, I would like to make one thing clear. Even in a post-split world, I have things set up so that any committer can commit anywhere but there would be a small notation on the commit message. eg: a doc-only committer who committed to src would have a "(doc committer)" tag in the commit message. The same goes for src-only committers who commit to doc or ports and so on. This means that things will function just like before where the only barrier is a DTRT one rather than a 50-foot-high concrete wall. CVSROOT/access.doc_src is mostly just a placebo and I intend to keep it that way. (Actually, its not entirely a no-op, it gets you src/ commit messages, thats all it does) This also means that folks like yourself can keep on doing good things for FreeBSD without me adding new things to get in your way. Does this satisfy your concerns? Of course, there is nothing to stop you getting your bit upgraded, but I believe the way I've done it doesn't actually force the situation. The intent of all this was to try and make things run more smoothly by trying to keep things more focussed, not to stop people doing good things.
