We need to be careful about enforcing this in the scripts.  I mean, I'm
a ports committer, but I committed to calendar.freebsd in src/, and
have added contributors and made the traditional first commits in doc/. 

I don't think we need this kind of limitation.  If we can't trust
someone enough to only commit to certain parts of the tree (with the
obvious exceptions I pointed out), they probably shouldn't be a
committer in the first place.
