I logged INFRA-6125. I took a stab at some of the names, actually. Maybe the admingroup is a little large now, but I thought it ok. We can change it later if need be.
When implemented, we should update the wiki with a blurp on how folks get to be added. I can think of 2 approaches: 1. send a request to a select number of volunteers (who volunteers?) 2. send a request to derby-dev. Checking over the 'recentchanges' looks like Knut got first to most of the bad ones - thanks!
