Actually Karl Fogel wrote in "Producting Open Source Software" that he
recommends and uses 'soft' partial commit access; it means that committing
is restricted to a part of project for some by a guideline, but is not
enforced by the tool (by SCM).
P.S. I recommend actually reading the book (at http://producingoss.com)
instead of relying on my understanding of it.
