I salute your intent but you also kind of just did the opposite and
worked unilaterally here, where you could have discussed this with
existing team members first. For example I would have said I think
measuring someone on the number of commits alone is not good. I also
don't like a 'public' number because it could encourage an adversary to
reach that just to get push rights. I have no objection though, I
recognize a lot of those names and let's see how it shakes out. Going
forward I do think existing team members should have some discussion
before new team members are added.

A lot of the unwritten rules like linear history and commit style should
be documented to make it easier for new team members, so I started a
wiki page for it https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/push-access-guidelines

Another idea - a mailing list that we can use to mail just team like
curl-team@ when there's an administrative issue or question etc
