As as matter of fact, YES.

I can't speak for the HTTP Server situation, but in the case of Jakarta,
that was one of the reasons for breaking it up, along with pushing to make
every committer a PMC member.  Before that, Jakarta had allowed projects to
vote their own releases outside of the PMC, and that finally raised some big
red flags.  I remember that clearly, as I suspect would Serge and Danny.

Giving them commit access has been deemed an action requiring a vote of the
PMC.  And sometimes the job description of a PMC Chair is

No need.  Sam was part of the process of fixing Jakarta, and Roy was one of
the one's posting about the problem in Jakarta.
