And?
If you tell someone he/she is just allowed to commit in the pl/foo
subproject then that's probably more then enough. The nice thing with cvs
is that old things are not lost and all the commits are sent out on a
mailinglist. I don't see how this is any different just because some very
- very big companies are involved.
If it's easy to do, fine. I just don't see it as a very important thing.
Anyway. I think it's a good thing that postgresql do as little as possible
and stuff that can be handled separately are.
