When XML Commons was transferred over to the Xerces PMC I don't believe anything changed with respect to who has commit privileges. At least there was no intention of removing anyone. I'm not sure how one checks who actually has write-access, but I suspect the list includes many folks who've never committed to the project before and possibly aren't aware that they can. > At least, http://people.apache.org/~jim/ committers.html doesn't > reflect it.
