It is somehow odd to have a complex trust system with many levels
of control (roughly packager -> provenpackager -> sponsor) for
contributors that have less power, while there is no apparent
control/procedure for the cvsadmin group. At least people having
cvsadmin powers granted should be provenpackagers, and maybe
cvsadmin members could be identified and something about them
could be added in the policies pages, be it only a mention to an
informal process to become cvsadmin.
To answer to myself, now that I stand corrected, cvsadmin is outside
of the packager trust system, and in the infras trust system, so it is
right as is (more precisely I don't have an opinion on it).
