That is exactly ***not*** the expected scenario in an Apache TLP. All committers to MyFaces should be able to commit to any of the MyFaces code.
Some TLPs do split the repository -- httpd has a separate documentation project, and Maven has a fine grained access structure: maven, maven-plugins, maven-core, maven-continuum, etc. At MyFaces, though, it sounds like a group of people was given access, but with an agreement that they wouldn't actually use it. It's that artificial division that I'm concerned about and would like to see eliminated. There aren't so many active developers that I think we need to be concerned about who has access to what. Rather, there are so few developers working on certain parts of the project that we should be doing everything we can to find *more* of them. :) The JSF 1.2 implementation and Tobago are both areas that could use attention from a more diverse set of developers. I know we've lost some potential contributors by not applying patches and getting releases out quickly enough. Even though it took months longer than planned, I hope the Core 1.1.4 release is the beginning of changes for the better on that front. -- Wendy
