Hi,
recently David Collins has been providing a number of good patches
for the documentation. Documentation contributors are few and far
apart, so I’m quite happy to see David step in a provide some improvements
to the docs.
I would like to propose him for commit access, limited to the documentation
area.
Btw, wondering, do we need a copyright assignment for the docs too?
I hope not 
Cheers
Andrea

+1 on commit rights.
Do we even have a license for our docs? I guess we’d need copyright assignment if we wanted to the ability to change the license in the future. It could be nice to throw a CC license on things, so others know they could reuse the docs.

+1. David's documentation patches are much appreciated.
It would be safest to have a copyright assignment. The line between code and docs can be blurred (think internationalised language property files ...).
