That policy was setup before this one for packagers. ;)

Look, I'm getting old, okay? ;)
But yeah, looking at that, one 'loophole' is it doesn't check if
they're actually needing *proven* packager powers - just packager
powers. If a proven packager is only building packages they have
explicit commit rights to, they may not need proven packager powers any
more?
