I think there is some misunderstanding here.  If it were only about
having permission to modify the bug tracker, I would have no problem
with granting that to Octave Forge developers.  The problem is that we
can't do just that.  By making someone a member of the Octave project
on savannah so that they can work with the bug tracker, we are giving
them full commit access to the Octave source archive.  Giving full
commit access to the source archive to fairly large number of people
who don't have a history of working on the core Octave sources is the
thing that I'd rather not do.
