As Philippe is saying, the idea isn't as bad as it may sound.

Obviously this doens't mean that anyone can create "official" updates
and releases - only someone from the release team would be allowed to do
that.
Many open source projects allow people to commit to the repository, but
the official packages get created by the project manager/owner.

We could also agree to a compromise and allow access to the repos to a
larger group of developers, without moving to 100% free access.

Having a more open approach could streamline the bug fixing/harvesting
process: instead of attaching a patch file to a mantis bug, reporters
and developers could just point to a package in the repository.
