This sounds good to me; another de-facto module to recognize in the
de-jure system. Thanks,

Currently, the process of obtaining Mozilla commit access is driven by
a loosely-defined set of trusted community volunteers who monitor new
requests in the relevant Bugzilla component (mozilla.org::Repository
Account Requests).
In practice, this important job is currently performed largely by
Marcia Knous, with help from Josh Matthews, with Axel Hecht and Pascal
Chevrel helping for the requests related to l10n repositories. Reed
Loden, Kyle Huey, and I have also helped handle these requests in the
past.
I think it would be useful to have a module defining these
responsibilities, and clarifying ownership of the overall process.
Responsibilities:
- monitoring the access request queue
- confirming that all access requests satisfy the requirements of the
commit access policy before being granted
- coordinating with relevant members of the IT team who are
ultimately responsible for setting up the accounts and providing access
- ensuring that the requests are dealt with in a timely manner, and
that the overall process is not too burdensome
Explicitly out of scope:
- responsibility for defining the commit access policy itself, which
is already covered by the existing "Commit Access Policy" module
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Commit_Access_Policy)
I nominate Marcia Knous to be the owner of this module. I think Josh
Matthews is a good candidate to be a peer. Given the amount of work
involved, it's probably a good idea to have additional peers as well,
but I think Marcia can own finding those trusted volunteers and make
them peers as she sees fit. I don't personally have a lot of time to
dedicate to doing this work on a regular basis, and I know Kyle and
Reed are in similar positions, but I'm willing to help out on an
as-needed basis, and I bet they are too. For requests related to
specific focus areas (like l10n), I suspect Marcia will continue to
rely on Axel, Pascal and others for assistance.
