For changes to be committed by yourself, I suspect there is no way around the
need for privileges. If anybody could commit changes without supervision, we
would be in a sordid chaos.

Try to list a few compelling reasons in Trac, which may persuade the 
developers
to propagate your submission to the trunk, rather than treating it as a
plug-in.

Best Wishes,

Roy
