So, what I am more or less proposing is that people in these groups
first try to become provenpackager and then can be in the cvsadmin group
based on another process. This would certainly add more transparency,
and allow to know who wants to do QA and help with security and
releng. Of course there are other processes, because access in cvs is
only part of the privileges needed by people in, say, releng, but
access in cvs is one of the required access.

It doesn't necessarily mean that people in these groups have to 
be packagers, but that they follow roughly the same trust system
and go through the same gates when it makes sense, as is the case for 
the cvs access.
