I don't see why the DPL would have authority over the mailing lists (hosted on a debian machine and maintained by the list admins) but not the svn repo (hosted on a debian machine, maintained by the svn admins (alioth team?) and access for that particular repo controlled by the project admins). Not to say that I disagree that the team should be able to choose their own members. I think the best result would be for the entire D-I team to vote on it, and base the decision on that, but I don't think that would be accepted by all parties in the argument. Benjamin
