CLA and some group membership that requires sponsorship would be more
than sufficient to guard against this.  cvsextras would be a good
starting point.

Which certainly sounds like "bureaucratic hassles or delays" to me. First a user has to get a CLA, then somebody has to sponsor them to be added into a group, and wait for propagation.

My point being that we can't have any sort of self protection without bureaucratic processes.

Existing trusted users (who are quite numerous and membership expands at a good rate) would have free reign without bureaucratic overhead to create projects and repositories. They could grant commit access to others, and be responsible for content in repositories that they own.

I see this as a good balance that both allows flexibility of developers to do what they want, with an effective amount of risk mitigation.
