Comment (by Otto42):

 I'm generally against this idea, as I feel it would lead to abuse.

 However, as long as there is a way for special knowledge being passed
 along to said authors that *any* instance of abuse of these powers, in any
 way, would lead to their permanent removal from WordPress.org, up to and
 including removing their themes/plugins from the directories, permanently,
 then I'd be okay with it.

 Basically, if they abuse it, they're out. Just so that is clearly
 communicated to them, somehow.
