Talented != experienced

IMHO, what makes a good maintainer is a desire to "own" a part of a
code, enthusiasm to keep on top of it, and an ability to *learn*
what's needed to do the job.  It's the *ability* to learn that's
"talent".

> Maybe commit access for everybody sounds bold.

I've been pretty lenient with accepting new committers.  It can't be
worse than what we had before (few/no committers).
