We want *some* barriers; otherwise, any random joe who decides that  
"free SVN and Trac space" seems like a good deal will come calling.

I think everyone who's on the list now, who has actually contributed  
one way or another, has earned a place in whatever initial setup we  
end up with.  But I also think that future arrivals will need to  
present a similar level of commitment (or commits ;-).

So yeah, there's a social-political component.  We can work that out,  
I bet; what do you guys think about all this?
