[tei-council] fine-grained permissions for subversion

[Martin Holmes]

For me, the strongest argument for granular permissions would be the 
possibility to designate specific people as "maintainers" for particular 
areas of the specification in which they happen to be expert. I rather 
like the idea of gatekeepers (rather than having lots of people with 
commit privileges over the whole repo). There are some areas where I'd 
feel qualified to be a gatekeeper, but others where I definitely should 
not be; and with designated people for each area, it would be easier to 
know who is responsible for making a specific change once the council 
has agreed to it.

Cheers,
Martin
