The process shall be that frequent contributors (including supporters of our CI/CT deployment) first of all get an account on source.denx.de. That would allow them to create private trees (under their own namespace) - analogously to public platforms - and benefit from our CI (probably with my help as owner of the group the runners are assigned to). Further on, it would allow me to add them as developer or even just reporter to Xenomai to allow them to contribute to the wiki and issue tracker. That is critical to improve collaboration.
