Speaking with my Apache Member's hat on, the Apache ethos is to try to 'police' things through social controls rather than technically.
This exact topic has been discussed at Members level, and this (above) is the current consensus. [sorry I'm not at liberty to share Member's email chains]. However, this hasn't been ratified as an 'official' position, so infra are understandably playing it safe and only giving permissions to named people who have asked and been granted permission by the relevant project. You can see this being actioned by infra here for another project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-20853?jql=project%20%3D%20INFRA%20AND%20text%20~%20%22triage%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC [CloudStack hat back on] I am massive +1 on removing a barrier to people's participation. And whatever controls are eventually deemed appropriate, I'm petty Zen about.

I don't think a trial for a limited set of users makes sense. And I don't think the PMC or committers will be able to control and revert on abuse. we'll need infra for both awarding and retracting.
