I agree with that too.
But I did the effort of finding the procedure and asking for cvs commit
access to the webwml files. To my surprise I got the access granted
within 24 hours. And also to my surprise, editing the webwml files and
committing the changes is much easier than I expected.

Well, feel free to give the procedure a more visible place in the
webwml-managed pages.

I agree with giving cvs commit access to the webwml files to all DD's,
or, to encourage all DD's to request that access.
