You can do it with a trivial commitinfo script to filter the usernames
that are allowed to commit to a particular area.  (The script is called on
every commit with env vars and arguments telling who, what, where, etc.  
If the script exits with nonzero then the commit is aborted.  A few lines
of case/sed/test/etc. does the trick.)

Of course, for this to be in any way secure, SF must only allow admins to
meddle with the contents of CVSROOT/commitinfo.
