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.
