That doesn't mean absolutely none of us are just doing personal projects which we keep on 
our own computers.

I committed some updates the other day and they seem they have gone straight into the 
online repository.

That mentions a 'shared repository model'.  What is that if not a way of enabling any user 
to push changes?  (That said, it isn't clear at the moment how to control whether a given 
repository is fork-pull or shared, or even whether the distinction is at the repository 
setup level or some other.)

It's too late in the day for me to take much in at the moment, but another page I've found
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5010754/github-collaborators-have-commit-access
seems to say that, if I make somebody a 'collaborator', then that somebody will be able to 
commit to my repository.

That isn't the sole purpose of the module list.  It also serves to document the status of 
each file.

What do you mean by this?
