He-he. We do have such thing. It is called CVSROOT/avail. It allow to
have a list of committers for every subdirectory. (It doesn't allow to
restrict commits to a branch, though.)

(One my collegaue at work once complained that he would like to be able 
to disable commits for his release engineering work. He convinced me 
that it is a good idea, and I borrowed the CVSROOT/avail stuff to our 
repository. He still never used it :-)).
