I'd say that whoever wants to contribute a script can branch, propose  
and ask for a merge.
If that person is interested in maintaining that script he or she  
should ask to be added to the team, so they can help out in merging in  
changes in their or other scripts.
Presumably there would be a discussion about merges that need one  
(just a normal review process most likely).

My only reason for wanting a "moderated" team was to prevent chaos,  
not to lock down access to it.
But since this is not "owned" by Sun, I'll let others figure out how  
they want to handle it :)

As I've said off-list already:
I'm fine with requiring a proxy tree to run the tests.
Currently we have the entire library and examples in the scripts tree,  
but we probably don't need that.
You have started from the proxy tree to get the history in, and I  
think that's fine. We should probably be removing a whole of stuff and  
only keep those things that make no sense to have in the general main  
proxy tree.
If we need changes in the test runner over in the proxy mainline, feel  
free to propose changes.

Feel free to grab some of the interesting scripts from the forge and  
put them into the script tree. It's much nicer to track things (and  
discover new ones) using a bzr tree than a wiki ;)

To restate: I request that scripts to be put into the new tree are  
under a GPL or GPL-compatible license, but again I'm not the owner of  
this tree.
Should things evolve towards a more general purpose API for proxy, I'd  
like to see it moving into the proxy mainline, and that most likely  
requires some legal action. But let's worry about that when it happens.

cheers,
