Oops, please forgive the misinformation. I've missed a lot of context
having been off IRC till recently, and shouldn't have made assumptions
about this issue.

What attempts have been made to solve the problem? Given that dons and
sjanssen have changed their roles, do they need to be involved in
altering groups and permissions for the repos? Would a proposal formed
by a quorom of those with commit access be enough to request changes on
the c.h.o support queue?

thanks,

One thing I do know is the support email personnel have been very
responsive and helpful with issues I've had to resolve on c.h.o.
