We don't need to agree on this point.  (Note that I if AJ thought he
was telling Sven was hit appeal options were, he was wrong, since the
TC can't overrule the leader on nontechnical questions.)

I think it is important for us to say that we don't think this is our
normal remit.  How about:

 3. Access controls to source code repositories are not something in the
    regular domain of the Technical Committee.  However, there is some
    doubt in this case whether the Project Leader has intended to ask
