Not a bad idea. I think at least the KDE project does a similar thing.
Maybe other projects do this too.

Implementation of this brings back the question: Shall the packagers
have an option to give commit access to every other packager and not
just to provenpackagers? This question arises because provenpackagers
are by definition not "junior"s.

The last time I talked to cvs folks, they told me that the code is
there for this option but it needs some testing. Any progress there?
