It really depends on the project. I don't think there are enough cases of code coming into an existing project via SGA to be able to say "most projects". Fact is most have never faced this issue. I could give you my personal opinion but I'm pretty sure someone on this list would have a different opinion. This is something best discussed with the receiving project and brought here if there is a lack of consensus.
If the code is coming in as a new project then the normal incubating proposal process sees a list of initial committers - in other words for a new project then it would be expected that all original contributors (that wanted to come along) would be given commit rights. Though whether that is the case or not depends on the proposers/champion/mentor. Ross Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. A subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation MS Open Tech is hiring!
