This might be important to bring up during the developer meeting. Please
feel free to add it to the agenda.

This also might be related to splitting the grimoire. If there is a
separate gnome grimoire, it'd be easier to implement tighter access
controls if people were violating commit policies without affecting the
access controls for other grimoires. Thus, if you were the "section"
maintainer (I guess under this scheme you'd be a grimoire maintainer),
you could actually "thwack" people if they got out of line with their
commits. ;)
