The repo belongs to yo, the TEIC, not me or Lou :-} we do what you ask
for

We never did contribute editorial services; we did that as a paid
service.  But thats a bit different from Sourceforge adminning.

I am not thnking anything. I am one of two owners of the project,
and I propose to administer it however this Council (and the Board) tell me
(and that naturally includes adding other admins as needed).

Personally, I would recommend opening commit rights to anyone
whom this Council deems trustworthy. I think the dangers are minimal,
to be honest. Any larceny will be rapidly detected, and community
pressure will sort things out.

current committers are actually very varied:

Dot Porter
Daniel O'Donnell
David Sewell
Elena Pierazzo
BODARD Gabriel
GE8
Gregor Middell
HA
Janet McKnight
James Cummings
John Ivor Carlson
Kevin Hawkins
Lou Burnard
Marcus Bingenheimer
Mikel L. Forcada
Peter Boot
Sebastian Rahtz
Syd Bauman
Sorin Ristache
Tilman

(which includes you, Kevin!).

It is not a very exclusive club! would we like me to remove anyone?

only the following folks have ever made a change to P5:

  David Sewell 
  J-L Benoit 
  Lou Burnard
  Sebastian Rahtz  
  Syd Bauman  
  bery
  dpod
  gabrielbodard
  jcummings
  radermacher

(I am not sure who "bery" is, by the way).
