while I have no real opinion on whether Bob should become a project member or 
not (and while I do applaud the very liberal membership rules of Debian Edu!), 
I'd like to point out that GIT makes (centralized) commit rights on alioth 
less important. Anyone can fork and commit to repo, and then these patches can 
be shared and picked easily, so that attribution of the work remains! To 
repeat this in mere english: your commits will remain your commits, even if 
someone else pushes them in the repo for you.

Which is one of the many reasons why GIT is great!


cheers,
	Holger
