During development cycle preparing for next SBo repo, we take everyone's work
in order to make the script works with latest snapshot of -current changes.
That will surely break the workflow if only certain people are allowed to
update a script.

Yes, this is the easiest way actually, but for now, send updates via
github/gitlab is the preferred solution without making any changes to the
current workflow. You might be given privileges to run the CI to test your own
scripts as well, so double benefits for active maintainers :)
