If everybody could push to the repo, it would become a huge mess ;) If a 
scanfile would needed to be updated on a regular basis (very unlikely) 
someone could maintain it of course. For now it is based on user

You can always do this to your local clone and have a pull request to 
your branch. But it's much easier to review on the mailing list using a 
patch. btw, git send-email or git format-patch help greatly in that regard.

I have no clue what the current situation is in France and why certain 
decisions where made. If anybody has accurate information to fix things, 
we can happily fix things.
