Will do, do I need to do this as a specific user and would the user
that does commit need write access or does it go to a "to be approved"
queue? Apologies for simplistic questions but my versioning experience
is somewhat limited (shocking I know). Maybe I should start a how to
contribute FAQ.

I forgot to clarify something...
The man page for the versionlock plugin states:

The  default  place to put package version lock information (one
package and version per. line)

reading it implies that you can have multiple entries for a single
package with different versions...  does it need clarification or can
you indeed have multiple versions of the same package in the lock
list. If so I do not understand the "use case" and would like to
clarify it further in the documentation or remove ambiguity. Would
greatly appreciate any clarifications.
