What I meant was: if 200 people have the ability to push to the repo,
but 50 of them aren't checking the mailing lists regularly, then you
call a halt to an RC, that's 50 people who don't know they shouldn't
push. It seems like a lot more work to chase after those 50 than to
close the gate and reject pushes to that particular release.
