+1 Giving leaders of subproject the freedom to manage +2 rights on their own repository will be very helpful for ensuring patches are reviewed by those with the correct competencies and merged in a timely manner.
Perhaps having a 'mini-info' file in each repository would help track this, intead of expanding the current INFO file. Simple fields such as: parent-project, project-name, creation-date, subproject-lead, committers, and parent-project-approval-link would work. This is merely a suggestion though, and a decision on this shouldn't block us from moving forward. I'm fine with things currently being added the INFO file.
