I agree that this could be a problem. It could be lessened somewhat if Google allowed people to join the project using a web interface, but they don't. On the help site (http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=56534&topic=10382), they recommend that you email one of the project members to gain access, which they would allow you to create and edit wiki pages. But this is awkward and slow at best. To make things a little easier, I'll create a mailing list on the project that people can use to request access and make miscellaneous comments. Hopefully this will be a decent workaround until Google gives us finer-tuned control over the project's security.
