What is "member the _a_" exactly? Member of the MapServer community?

I find that this is a bit wide open. We should let sanboxes be used only 
for stuff related to the MapServer project. This was probably implied by 
your proposal, but just to make things clear, we could perhaps change 
the proposal to something like this:

"""
Should we add the following section to the committer guidelines in RFC 
7.1 (which would become RFC 7.2)?

SVN Sandbox access:

Any member of the MapServer community can request mapserver_sandbox 
group access to the trunk sandbox, provided that the person requesting 
the sandbox explain on the -dev list what they plan to use it for and 
that no objections are expressed by PSC members within 2 business days.

Any regular mapserver committer moving code from a sandbox to trunk 
assumes responsibility for ensuring it is appropriate from a copyright 
point of view and that all other requirements of the committer 
guidelines are met.
"""

I'd be +1 on that.
