That reminds me of an old idea discussed with Roland, Raphael, and Sam (Hocevar) years ago: provide a web-based admin checkbox that will enable DD-wide access on all repositories associated to a given alioth project. The rationale was that of easing the control of DD-wide commit access right by project admins, which is already possible (and used by various teams), but requires bothering Alioth admins, AFAIR. I never come up with the energy of writing the needed [1] *forge plugin, mainly because I've never even looked at *forge code. I re-throw the idea in the bucket here, as someone interested in more liberal commit access rights might want to pursue that too. Cheers.
