29 My intention was to document only the mechanics involved in the
30 process and sidestep the permission discussion as much as possible.
31 Frankly, I have no experience in joining/leaving projects. I
32 understand that some projects are happy with people just adding
33 themselves without permission whereas others, like the security team,
34 are stricter with their requirements. Either way, the wiki will need
35 to be modified and possibly the alias file too. Maybe we are better
36 off without the last sentence, so it's less controversial?
