I agree. By definition, nobody should ``own'' any file in a project.
Files are there so they can be shared and worked on by many people.
In version control, access control makes sense at the granularity of a
whole project: who gets read access to the whole thing, and who gets
read-write. A versioned tree is effectively one object.
