Short version, if someone is trusted to be a RM, you should make him/her a PMC member. Or, in a more practical way, a new RM as committer should be guided by another RM(PMC member), so svn wouldn't be a block, the new people still are able to sign the source tar and all other works.
The key to be a RM is to know what and how to check, and why those checks matter for a project.
