Agreed, although to be fair, without putting words in Alexander's
mouth, I believe the original intention was mostly that we should have
a high bar to get commit access, as it involve a great deal of trust
in the first place, a review process would be a mitigant for this, but
as you correctly point out, it simply isn't economical.

As have been pointed out, there are other ways to contribute (proxied
maintenance, overlay, editing wiki, support etc) that is likely a
better starting point than becoming a dev directly.
