An alternative would be to have a completely open group that anyone can
join (ubuntu-doc) which we use as the bug contact and such; and then a
restricted group (e.g. ubuntu-doc-svn) reserved for those with access to
the svn repository. This structure might encourage contribution more
than the one described above.

What do people think?
