It isn't a personal favour ... as far as I understood, they usually try to keep going without cause it would be a nightmare for them, if every project wanted their own VM. There are however several exceptions where it is needed. For example the OpenOffice team seem to be hogging a Mac instance for quite some time now. I think I convinced Gavin, that for our project it would make things easier for them if we could log in. I think he now agrees to that.
On a VM that someone on the project owns, we have to take care of creating and managing users by ourselves. If the owner doesn't want to / cant grant us access anymore, were hanging in the air. On a ASF VM this will probably added to the ASF LDAP hereby preventing a VM lockout and you simply have to use your ASF credentials. I for my part no longer know where the machines currently running builds are and what credentials I need to log in.

I’m not sure what that means, but I trust you’ll get things to work. Hopefully it will be straightforward for us to maintain if you ever find yourself unable to do so. -Alex
