How could they contribute when they were not given access? These guys have been asking for two weeks or more to be allowed to contribute, and in some cases did not even receive a reply.

That's not it. The issue is they have been barred access to a project they have only expressed interest in contributed to. They have not yet contributed anything (no code, no patches, little to no communication on the dev list, etc...). That is why the CXF mentors decided it was in-appropriate to give them commit access. There name was on the initial proposal, but after two months, there was still no contributions. Those individuals are basically stating that since there name was on the proposal, that is enough to get the commit rights. Basically, Jason and the other mentors thought the initial commiters should actually be those who contribute/commit stuff. Those who don't meet that barrier haven't earned the commit rights, so why should they have commit rights? -- J.
