It look like some had trouble because they didn't have 2FA enable on their Github account
I adjusted the steps and documented them on the wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK/Accessing+Apache+GitHub+as+a+Committer Here is a copy for your convenience: 1. Verify you have a Github id enable with 2FA https://help.github.com/articles/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/ 2. Enter your Github id into your Apache id profile https://id.apache.org/ (Wait for an email inviting you to Apache Github Organization and accept invitation) 3. Verify you are part of the Github team "Apache Committers" https://github.com/orgs/apache/teams/apache-committers 4. Merge your Apache and GitHub accounts using GitBox https://gitbox.apache.org/setup/ 5. You should get invited to Github team "openwhisk committers" https://github.com/orgs/apache/teams/openwhisk-committers On Mon, Feb 20, 2017 at 9:33 AM Carlos Santana <csantan...@gmail.com> wrote: > For those committers that review and merge Pull Requests, you need to > setup gitbox to be able to have write access to the repositories being > moved to the Apache Github Organization > > We just moved the first repository incubator-openwhisk-tutorial [1] > > I'm working with Daniel Gruno from the INFRA team as we transfer more > repositories [2] > > Daniel has helped on getting everything setup for the repo once is > transferred, including redirects from old location, and email notifications > to the commit@ list [3] > > Actions for Committers: > To be able to get write access to the repository here are the steps > 1.
