[sakai-pmc] grant Ben Holmes commit access to Signup tool

[Charles Severance]

I agree with this approach - mirroring Apache.   And I also feel when we get to github the PMC will likely control the core commit list and there will be lots of rings.

I do think that in the short term / during transition - a courtesy check with the historical owners of a portion of the tree is 100% a good idea.

We may decide we need rather more contributors and fewer committers (i.e., those with a right to merge a pull request to our core repos).  Then again, we might simply grandfather in the current set of active committers.  Either way, the PMC, in my opinion, should decide such questions, either formally or via a lazy consensus.
