Sorry for using this thread, I just recently subscribed so I don't  
have a copy of the older message.

I had two thoughts on this which could work together. First, how about  
automatically adding module authors to the documentation permissions?  
Those who have committed code in my mind at least are very unlikely to  
vandalize pages.

The other thought would be to do a "time delay" for new accounts being  
added to the documentation team. For example, if an account is active  
at least once a month for six months, then automatically add the  
permissions, and send an email with style information and a thank-you  
for participating in d.org's community. Of course, this could always  
be overridden by a formal doc team request.

One other thing - the revision log field should be made to be  
required. This probably requires a custom module to hook into the  
form, but would be very useful.
