Don't look at this as a Red Hat vs. the rest of the world thing: even
though I have a redhat.com mailing address, I don't expect to get commit
access to the kernel, or glibc or 99% of the rest of the Fedora
packages. 

And I don't want it: not having that access limits the things I need to
worry about if my account gets compromised. My packages could still have
been messed with, but at least it won't ripple into _all_ of Fedora
needing an audit to make sure that a break into my account didn't
compromise the distro.
