Not quite. Everyone listed in the .doap file is a "Maintainer", while
everyone else is a "Developer". So you can just change the protection o
the master branch to only allow everyone in the "Maintainer" group to
merge. This will prevent everyone who is not listed in the .doap file
from merging.

But, that in turn isn't really compatible with the idea that the Relase
Team is the one who should always be able to handle emergencies in case
a maintainer is not available at the time. So, they kind of need to
have the Maintainer permissions in order to always be able to step in,
even if projects have configured branch protections.
