Hi Ruben,

Your institutional msub committers must have accounts in Matterhorn's Jira
instance.  If they don't already have accounts, they can sign up at [4] and
can change their passwords and other account details from their profile page
[5].

Requests for modifying your msub committers list should be sent to
[email protected].

>>
>> "mSub (or massively-inclusive Subversion) was implemented to provide each
>> ... Partner organization with a common, shared space in which to keep a copy
>> of their local ... implementation or implementations... This approach offers
>> a number of advantages to both the organization itself and the community as
>> a whole:
>>
>>    - easier to manage local customizations
>>    - easier to share production code with other organizations
>>    - easier to compare customizations across organizations looking for
>>    important trends
>>    - easier to contribute production-tested code, bug fixes, or
>>    customizations back to the community repository for inclusion in future
>>    releases"
>>
>> There are other ways to share customizations, such as using a distributed
>> version control system and a public hosting site [2], [3], but these require
>> different tools than those being used by the Matterhorn developers and
>> therefore make merging between repositories difficult.
>>
>> We therefore encourage anyone who is interested in customizing Matterhorn
>> to do so in a public "msub" directory.  Simply send an email to
>> [email protected] to request an msub directory for your
>> institution.
