One might argue that if they are trusted to make decisions on behalf of
the project, they can be trusted only to *use* their commit rights
where it is sensible and appropriate to do so.

Restricting commit rights could be a technical security thing — an
individual could say "I'm never going to *intentionally* commit to
certain repositories so let's prevent my account from doing so
accidentally (or maliciously if compromised)."

But I don't see a reason other than that, why Decisionmakers shouldn't
be permitted commit rights. It's just complexity and inequality, or
"levels" of privilege, for no good reason (that I see).
