Reviewing the process for giving people commit rights

[Nate Graham]

Hello folks,

When someone is proposed to get commit access, currently a sponsor 
proposes it, the intended recipient contacts sysadmin, sysadmin reviews, 
and then asks the sponsor if it's okay. This process essentially only 
allows for sysadmin review, since the sponsor has already implicitly 
approved by virtue of being the sponsor.

This caused a problem recently in KWin. A new contributor was given 
commit rights very soon after he appeared, and then immediately after 
that, he inappropriately merged a not-fully-reviewed an un-accepted 
merge request 
(https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/1980). It seems 
that he did not have a sense of the cultural norms around committing to 
KDE repos, and giving him commit access was probably premature.

I'd like to propose that we need to make the commit access review 
process open to review by more people so that we can flag issues like 
this sooner. Maybe kde-core-devel?
