Yes. While I'd like Andreas to get commit access eventually, I think that 
time should not be now. At least not for working on the kernel.

IMO a developer should get commit access when review is not necessary 
anymore, i.e. when virtually all patches are OK -- not necessarily bug 
free, of course, but in a technical and "that's a good approach" sense. 
Most of Andreas' non-trivial patches I've seen so far needed at least one 
review+improvement iteration before I considered them OK.

I'm sure that's mainly a question of familiarity with the kernel code base 
and the specific problems, so I'm optimistic that will improve. ATM I'm not 
in favor of granting commit access, though.

CU, Ingo
