[DISCUSS] Allow committers to release/apply changes to dist area

[Stamatis Zampetakis <za...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

By default Apache committers do not have permissions to do
modifications to the SVN release area [1]. This means that many steps
in the release process cannot be completed by a Hive committer without
the intervention of a PMC.

In Hive, it is quite common to have committers serve as release
managers so these limitations add unnecessary overhead and
complications to the release process.

I would like to propose to lift these limitations and give write
access to Hive committers in the dist area. It is rather easy to do by
raising an INFRA ticket.

Obviously, I am +1 with the change. How do others feel about this?

Best,
Stamatis

I logged https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-27113 and will
update here once the permissions are updated.
