GitHub has rolled out a new permission model and team features (1). The 
changes appear to be useful for the trac-hacks organization.

Each repository has a team associated with it. The following changes have 
been made to the team:

* The original owner of the repository has been set as the "team 
maintainer", and has full permissions for that repository. Of particular 
interest, this individual can add and remove users from the team (did any 
maintainers receive an email notification when I made this change?).
* All other members of the team have write access (previously, due to 
limitation of GitHub, all team members had admin access, with permissions 
equivalent to what the team maintainer has now). There are no other members 
of the team unless the "team maintainer" has chosen to grant access to 
other members.
* All teams are visible to other members of the organization.

With regard to the last point, one particularly nice feature that is new: 
"A visible team can be seen and @mentioned by every member of this 
organization."

As noted in (2), there still appears to be no way to request an invite to 
the organization through GitHub, so if you'd like to join please reply here 
or email me directly.
