Until now the discussion seems to have been centered on the Debian 
JavaScript Team : should it accept them? Isn't it a security problem to 
grant them access? Won't they leave the team out in the cold after 
pushing their packages?

But those are actual people, not just names : are all applicants aware 
they are expected to maintain those packages? Are they really interested 
in doing so? Do they have any long-term use for an account on alioth?

I'm for granting them access if they have something to contribute and 
they want to join, but I'm againsts forcing them to join to contribute.

Cheers,

Snark on #debian-js
