I'm delighted to see DBD::mysql maintenance moving again.

Anyone can fork a repo and send a pull request in the normal way. There's no "need" to give out commit bits for direct access by default. On the other hand, it's nice to reduce friction for regular contributors. I think the way this might work via the GitHub team mechanism is: * "DBD-Foo" - One team per driver. Push, pull, and administrative access to the repo for that driver. * "Contributors" - push and pull access (no admin) to ALL repos in the org. Trust level: 0: fork and send pull requests 1: "Contributors" = "a commit bit for the perl5-dbi org" 2: "Contributors" + "DBD-Foo" I figure that we'd add anyone who's a regular/trustworthy contributor to the Contributors team. Driver authors/admins can add people to their own "DBD-Foo" team. Sound ok? Tim. p.s. There's an "Owners" team with full access to all repositories and have admin rights to the organization itself. We have 5 people already and I don't see a need to add more at the moment.
