I would like CVS commit access to make simple wording changes, and maybe some 
small XUL and/or Javascript changes. I have fixed bugs 75819, 86681, 87028, 
81406 and 85993.

I have printed the form and will fax it soon.
I have faxed the form.

Do I still need to mail it in?
form received. Yes, I would prefer to have the original signed form on file 
here. I assume from your request that you are seeking write access, so you will 
have to get a voucher as well as 3 SRs in order to be granted access.

Well, BHart does good work, but I believe our current policy is that once CVS
write access is given, it applies to pretty much the whole tree (with a couple
of mechanically enforced exceptions), so ensuring that he would only keep to
'simple wording changes, and maybe some small XUL and/or Javascript changes'
must be on his head and that of his vouchers.  Is this how we've handled such
cases in the past?  I think this needs a little group discussion among the
policy makers (sr council, for this purpose, I think).
CVS access was granted to stephend@netscape.com, who was/is making these same 
type of changes. Bug 69429 deals with this.
Alright, I can vouch for you on this basis.  This explicitly makes me liable for
any checkins you make outside this initial scope, so please don't abuse my trust
:-)  sr=scc for BHart to have CVS write access for wording changes, and maybe some 
small XUL and/or Javascript changes.  As you broaden your skills, you and I
together, probably with some other sr's, can decide when to broaden your checkin
activities to match.
Brad - okay, you have sr=scc, with the stipulations noted.  You will still need 
to have 2 other SRs take a look at your code before I can flip the switch. Go to 
http://mozilla.org/hacking/reviewers.html to see the complete list of current 
SRs. 
I share scc's concerns, so provided BHart keeps to simple non-C++ changes, sr=darin.
I suggest marking this invalid.  

I know access has been given in the past to people who don't meet all the
requirements, but that won't scale going forward.

bhart, I'm sorry you've been the first person to get put through the sr= wringer.

If bhart becomes a patch machine, or meets the criteria, we can re-open.

bhart, as I've offered in email, I'll help you land mozilla/mailnews patches.
Marking invalid per comments from Brendan and other SRs.

Do my previous SRs still apply?

bradley, can you make this bug depend on all the bugs you've fixed?

I know you've fixed some more since we marked this invalid.
All bugs I've fixed are now marked as depends.
Depends on: 75819, 81406, 85808, 85993, 86681, 87028, 88673, 89755, 90781, 91751, 94702, 94839, 98381, 100656, 101110, 106172
I've seen enough good work that helped the project, and I don't think bhart is
gonna get drunk, stay up late, and write too much C++ (like others no longer
with us who are responsible for some of our object oriented pile o' code have
done), so I'm happy to sr=brendan@mozilla.org his cvs access so he can keep
helping with lower overhead.

(I was kidding about the drunk part... too much code in the pile was written
while completely sober, if you can believe it!)

/be
Does that give me all the SRs I need?
darin, seth please stamp your sr='s and marcia will activate.

/be
following brendan's lead, sr=sspitzer

bhart has kept the patches coming, and he understands the process.

I think we should update http://mozilla.org/hacking/reviewers.html to cover CVS
access for those who don't do any C++ hacking.
