Re: Build dependency inflation (was: Re: Core-updates merge)

Re: Proposing commit access for 'unmatched-paren'

Hi, TL;DR: IMO commit access is too dangerous to grant on the basis of appreciating help, and/or workflow convenience. Trusted committers are defenders of FLOSS. There must be very strict trust requirements for commit access or FLOSS will become vulnerable to "mistakes" with plausible denial, li
