Sebb commented on WHIMSY-270:
-----------------------------
[~rubys] I was thinking the same.
[~cml] I think this needs a bit more study.
I think it's vital that each nonPMC only has one LDAP group, otherwise the
groups can get out of step.
At present some of the nonPMC groups use ou=auth (e.g. fundraising, trademarks)
Presumably there was a good reason for choosing ou=auth.
We should not change the LDAP schema just because it makes coding easier; seems
to me that the correct schema is more important.
> non-PMC groups need to be treated as projects

> Key: WHIMSY-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-270
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Chris Lambertus
> Priority: Major
>
> For groups such as D&I or others under
> https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/nonpmc/ there should be the ability to
> "press the button" to create and maintain the LDAP groups under ou=project.
> This will provide the following benefits:
> - allow LDAP management of the nonPMC
> - allow self-service github repo creation
> - allow proper github authorization for repos
> I am not aware of any downsides for this approach. I have not reviewed the
> code, but I am hoping it would be fairly trivial to implement, and would
> quickly unblock INFRA-18453.
> The current state of affairs would require infra to manually create and
> populate the LDAP group for D&I, which we'd prefer to avoid.
