Description

It would be nice if people who are not committers @ the ASF have a way to modify descriptors, in particular developers of non-ASF projects maintaining the descriptors of those projects. This is currently done by putting those descriptors in a seperate cvs module and accessing them through ViewCVS, but this has several downsides as has been discussed here:

Possible alternatives could be a publicly writeable repository, an access-by-request repository, a web application with granular auth&access control, or all of the above.
