No, all this settles is that it shows that you have a
centralized VCS bent of mind, and do not understand the paradigm of
distributed version control.
People have helped me with devotee in collaborative
development; none of us had write access to the others repo. It is
just not needed.
Even in collaborative development, no one ever needs to commit
to the repo belonging to another person (look at darcs -- doing so
would be, err, hard).
The idea is that you branch off my public mirror, hack, and
tell me to pull off your branch -- and any number of us can do that.
As an example of how such merges work, look at
