Sorry for the delay, I had missed this.

Push access is fine, of course. The question is if you still need it?

to be honest, no, not right now :) I'll reopen sometime in the futre

Just a note; we have a dvcs for a reason, personally I'm strongly of the view development of non-standard specs shouldn't be occurring in the mainline repo.

Put another way, people don't ask for push access to torvalds repo.  They branch from his, and set up their own space.

FYI with gitolite giving people write access to certain non-master branches is possible.  That's a light-weight alternative.
