Made some progress.

Created a librarians usergroup on Open Library and gave permission to edit all 
pages under /dev/ to that usergroup.

http://openlibrary.org/usergroup/librarians

Ben, you are part of that usergroup. Please try to edit any of the developer 
docs and let me know if that works.  

I can add more active users to that group if everything is works alright.
