That would break down if someone tried checking in with the --close,
--branch, or --integrate options, at least two of which are very useful
when working with branches (as many devs prefer to).

It would be doable but not be really trivial. Several of the queries make
use of the hard-coded list of users, and any number of commands might have
to be updated to account for the new permission.
