Ultimately it reflects reality given that we won't (can't?) prohibit DDs from
write access without joining the team.

For example, if an NMU gets uploaded, I'd like for the DD to be able to commit
the change to the repo directly rather than have ask us one of us to do it for
them.  But any DD who really cares about Python should join the team, IMHO.
It's a pretty low barrier.
