Is access control really needed? Where is the trust among the KDE community? 
Doesn't it work in all other cvs modules (except www, for whatever reason) 
that there is a rule maintainer-reviews-before-commit? Do we really need to 
enforce this here? Gives a really bad feeling. Are guideline writers more 
special than code writers?
What about missspelled words or syntax errors? Should we really wait until the 
maintainer had the time to review the little fix? And stay with a broken 
docbook until? 

Please, give a reasoning for this. 

Regards
Friedrich
