Added two new SVN committers: Dominic Arkwright (dom) and Grace Pastorelly (grace). They're contractors working on multilingual stuff for WiktionaryZ / WikiData; they'll be working in a branch for now.

Also, I've set up a restricted shell on the SVN server for most of the accounts. Please let me know if it breaks anything, or if you need an open shell to fiddle with something else on the server. (Currently Tim's got a full shell so that he can add new committer accounts if I'm unavailable.)
I spent some time poking around the web for nice, lightweight restricted shells with a convenient option for Subversion, but couldn't find anything that didn't look dreadful. So I whipped up a quick crappy one in Python:

As far as I know it should not be any less secure than the Subversion server program itself, though it might be buggy.
