Actually, it'd be even better if David or someone with the right karma
can look into this:

Let me know if that doesn't work and I can dig some more.


I had a look at this, but I don't have the necessary Karma. The doc says you need "global administration rights", I guess I only have admin rights on the Forrest project.

This will probably have to be done by infra, but if it truly is global (i.e. affects all projects) we may find some resistance to doing it.
