-                Various Component Maintainers
+RTEMS is maintained by collection of volunteers.  RTEMS is a very
+broad and diverse project which requires expertise in many areas.
+This breadth of knowledge exceeds the capabilities of any
+single person. Each volunteer has areas of expertise where they
+are more comfortable but each is capable of making technical
+decisions across the entirety of RTEMS.

+Blanket Write Privileges are granted to experienced RTEMS developers
+who can be trusted to distinguish between changes which require
+others to review, require a problem report, or can be safely committed
+with limited review.
 
-                        CPU Port Maintainers    (CPU alphabetical order)
+Write After Approval is granted to experienced but also trusted 
+RTEMS developers.  These developers may be less familiar with
+the breadth of RTEMS.  Developers with write after approval need
+to submit their patches for review. Once the patches have been
+approved by a developer with Blanket Write Privileges, the patches
+may be checked in.

+Localized Write Permission is for developers who have primary
+responsibility for a port and all associated BSPs, a BSP, or other
+specific aspects of RTEMS.  These folks are allowed to make changes to
+areas they maintain and related documentation, web pages, and test cases
+without approval from anyone else, and approve other people's changes
+in those areas. They must get approval for changes elsewhere in RTEMS.
