Right now committers approved as ports committers are supposed to only
commit to the ports tree.  This doesn't change that.  If they want to
be src committers, we currently ask that they get approval for that
and find a src committer to be a mentor.  Likewise going the other way
(from src -> ports), although the other way is less enforced.  This
was true when asami-san was approving ports committers, as well as
when core took this over recently before conferring it unto portmgr.

doc is a special case, since it has its fingers into the src tree in
ways that aren't easy to extricate.

There's not currently a technical enforcement for this in place.
