Yes, a distributed scm would make it easier to do various things, but at
the same time we should make sure we don't make it any harder to get
regular commit access just because it's easier to get lesser access.  Our
low bar to getting commit access is a feature.  And for the fixes that are
at issue in this thread we'd want them to have direct access anyway,
requiring someone to review and pull quickfix stuff takes about as long as
just doing the change themselves.
