When did this happen? Can you give me the ticket #?
This absolutely
should not have happened. If you have an existing account and you
just need a key updated that's an automatic approval.
I can't find any ticket, or any discussion in my private email
archive. It was probably requested by private email to Priyanka and
then discussed by phone or in person. My recollections are fairly vague.
We don't have any process for revoking commit access at the moment,
but Huib's request for a key change presented an opportunity to review
his access level in the wake of his on-wiki banning. See:

An on-wiki ban doesn't disqualify someone from getting commit access.
But we have to weigh the scale of someone's positive contributions
against the risk of disruptive or malicious activity.
