Some situations that all seem similar to me: * the maintainers for something (probably a package) revoke someone's commit access to the repo (this is the case in question) * the sysadmin team revokes someone's membership of some group, or removes their account on some machine, or similar * the listadmins revoke or restrict someone's posting ability etc. I think these are all political decisions implemented through technical means. I think we can review the mechanisms used for access control (eg, we could with insist on the use svn-over-ssh instead of svn-over-ssl or vice versa) but we can't review the access control list which specifies who gets the ability to do what.
