Because most people don't bother when they want to fix only a small detail in a web page. Furthermore, the procedure to get www-acces is not that clear... when I joined the group, I had to seriously dig in the documentation to finally find a web page which wasn't even hosted on a debian.org website at that time (Joey's page that apparently moved to people.d.o in the mean time and that you have now listed in http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Webmaster). Anyway, debian-cd when it was hosted in CVS used to have write access to all Debian developers and it worked perfectly fine. The collab-maint SVN repository is also writable by all DD and I haven't heard a single complaint up to now. So consider this a +1 for me to get write access to all DD by default in our website. I would also like the project to move away from CVS and use something more friendly that can effectively enable bigger changes (because it handles renames at least).
