What I meant is this: you need commit privileges regardless of whether you are going to use bazaar or subversion (i.e. even for bazaar, you still need commit privileges). So if mentors favor usage of bazaar over subversion, they still need to arrange their students to get commit privileges, and then ask them not to use these privileges for subversion, but only for bazaar (because we only have a single set of credentials that we manage).

I see, thanks for clearing it up.

But, what about giving students a branch in the svn and instructing them to commit only there ? (Chris mentioned this two emails ago). If for some reason svn is not the way to go, then I'm happy in using bazaar for commits anyway. Also, are you (PSF) planning to do this now or just at the "official" gsoc start ? And, is there some internal discussion going on to decide if students are going to get a branch or something at python repositories ?

HTH, Martin
