Not sure if this is the right spot to request. I understand that the ability to promote projects has been split from ridiculous super powers no mortal should have. Despite that, i'll apply for project-promotion power anyway ;-)

I am fully attuned to the fact that the Git migration has made the approval process much less critical for people to be contributing and collaborating, but people seeking to maintain a full project need to know their offer is being taken seriously. If they aren't showing evidence of being serious yet themselves, i'll have no problem saying try again later.

What i intend to do is link from the Peer Review group to the project applications queue and ask reviewers to look at the project expectations and coding-standards pages. (I'd appreciate someone giving me the contents of the old CVS Application Guidelines - http://drupal.org/node/59 - because if i remember correctly it was a pretty awesome code review process.) Not every review will be sufficient, i'm sure, but applicants will start to get more immediate feedback.

I will not promote any project to a full project that has not been reviewed by someone other than me, but i won't necessarily let any objection from additional reviewers put a hold on it either.

Thank you.

benjamin, agaric

That's enough people. I don't have administer users permission on Drupal.org any more to flip the switch. Also I think this belongs in webmasters.

I have granted the "Git administrator" role to Ben.

Actually if someone could tell me how to use this permission that'd be great ;-)

It looks like this permission requires 'administer users' in order to be able to actually use it. Moving back to RTBC.

The permission to administer users is required, or the user will not see the tab to make a user a vetted user, which is under user/<uid>/edit.
It is still possible to access that tab, but the user should manually write the link.

Please note that the user administration privilege is not needed. You can simply type in the URL manually: http://drupal.org/user//edit/git

See: #1076332: "Git adminstrator" role does not have enough permissions to do their job

There is currently no documentation on being a Git Administrator. This should happen (hopefully I will have time for this).

Thank you all! I did figure out that shortcut. zzolo, do you know where the Git Administrator documentation should live? i can at least start it. Thanks.

I would suggest somewhere under this page: http://drupal.org/node/636570

+1 from me too!

This bottleneck is driving away so much potential energy in the community, and at the worst possible time - right after the D7 launch and DCChicago, when there is a lot of great new energy pumping into the Community from newly-engaged developers, and we're just throwing it away. BIG thank yous to Ben et al for not letting this issue die.

Hi Kelly,

The best way to move the process along is...to move the process along. I notice you've never commented in the projectapplications queue. Perhaps you'd like to read up on the process and then dive in
