  Localized write permission.

  This is for people who have primary responsibility for ports, front
  ends, or other specific aspects of the compiler.  These folks are
  allowed to make changes to areas they maintain and related
  documentation, web pages, and test cases without approval from anyone
  else, and approve other people's changes in those areas.  They must
  get approval for changes elsewhere in the compiler.
