I did this because we've got a lot of disparate groups sharing this 
service; I want to give projects freedom over who they grant access to 
without getting into inter-project politics over who's a reasonable 
developer...

Handhelds.org went even further in this direction; they split out every 
module into a separate group, but ended up needing to hack the kernel so 
that individual users could be in more than 32 groups.  I'm hoping adding 
this extra level of indirection will let us survive with standard kernels 
and tools while still providing a level of intra-project self-management.

For specs associated with specific software packages, I'd like to see those
kept with the code.  ICCCM extensions could live in the xlibs project where
any supporting code would eventually live.  For specs which have no home, 
I guess a separate project to hold them makes as much sense as anything.
