The problem with this is that it completely changes the psychology of
the project.  I am a firm believer in giving everyone absolute, but
limited, power in the project.  Everyone is a master of some small
slice.  If you always have to get someone else's ok to do stuff, the
feeling within the projects changes a lot.

I think another point of dissent would be username issues.  'rasmus' was
already taken on github, for example, so 10+ years of commits under
'rasmus' now needs to be mapped to some other user id?  That doesn't
sound appealing.
