This is an interesting thread.
If I'm not wrong, the main admin problems in granting fine-grained
commit privileges are caused by the fact that, while OFBiz is in the
Incubator, all the admin tasks are managed by the Incubator PMC. When
(if!) OFBiz will become a TLP project at Apache, things will be easier.
So, this could be probably a good chance to make this experiment, in
fact the number of committers is at the moment rather small (7 persons).

Just my 2 cents.
