True; becoming a developer goes further than obtaining access, it also
involves keeping that access. And everyone knows well enough that it
takes more than a single breakage to permanently lose that access; to
determine where the limits are, one can remember the case with
python-exec where you see that the developer is still around.
Permanently losing it thus takes quite a big effort; in comparison, a
temporary suspension is something rather helpful ("Oh, were I breaking
the tree? Thanks for preventing me from making further damage; sorry, I
forgot to check IRC and/or e-mails. What can we do to fix it?"),
temporary suspensions do not have to be worried about.=20
