Actually, it's up to the admins to give the "mere" developers
additional permissions.  In the Python project, it is a policy to give
all developers all permissions -- because in our view checkin
permission (which every developer has) is more powerful than any of
the sourceforge admin things, so why not give everybody all
permissions!
