That's not true. You need to log in to src.fedoraproject.org at least
*once* to get group memberships synced over (including "packager").
Without that, you can't push things to dist-git.
So everybody who joined the packager group since pagure-dist-git has
been a thing, and has pushed at least one commit, certainly needs to
have logged in at src.fedoraproject.org at least *once*.
