ATM we get the repo copy when we request one. There's no approval process I'm aware of. So I expect a lot of bikeshed discussions about the right layout if someone moves parts of the tree. But the problem you mentioned above is not a policy problem, it's a technical problem: CVS has no official way to move while keeping the history. Because of this we have to cheat. Cheating can harm the repo, so we only allow a subset of the people to cheat. The policy we have ATM is the result of a technical limitation, not a political decission in the first place.
