[mapguide-internals] Commit rights for UV

[UV]

Currently, the process is only poorly defined and does not state very 
clear rules in particular in regards of timing.

Can someone jump in (from the PSC i guess) review my code and provide me 
some feedback, I've been working on this for a while now and I would 
like to know how close I am to getting commit rights? 
The several patches requirement is a little loose, as for RFC60 there is 
one big patch, which could be seen as a equivalent to several smaller 
patches? And there are other contributions regarding other issues which 
show further insight into the server code.
