I think we should grant all DDs write access to the repository. After
all, we trust them to do NMUs and security uploads, why wouldn't we
trust them to commit reasonable changes to the repo?

I think it makes a difference if we blindly trust fellow DDs or probably
random newcomers with unchecked identities.
