Time controls will remain outside the control of individual players. They
are set for the sake of the tournament as a whole and should not be
subject to changes by individual players. The main thing is to find the
right balance that will allow a fair amount of time to play without
allowing the tournament to run on too long. 

Even creating a command that allows one player to give some of his time to
his opponent would run into the problem of its fair use. If one player gave
some of his time to his opponent and then lost on time, the question of
whether his loss was fair would arise. It is best to avoid such issues
altogether by not allowing players to give time to opponents.
