Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
In the 'Maintainers' tab of a project, I can assign anyone that has a Drupal.org account to a maintainer of my project, regardless if they have agreed to the Git agreement on their user profiles or not. This actually caused confusion in real life due to similar names: #2033397: Offering to co-maintain Views Slideshow JCarousel Thumbs that wouldn't have happened since the errant user should have never been visible in the list.

Dave ReidNoted in IRC that the user could be assigned not the 'Write VCS' checkbox, but if that checkbox *is* checked, then it should fail validation.
I'm not sure if this should be filed against project, or drupalorg.

drummThis is either a project or versioncontrol issue. Project module should have a way to disable unavailable checkboxes. And versioncontrol should do what is needed to use that.

kreynen CreditAttribution: kreynen at University of Colorado Boulder commentedI believe this was resolved in a different way from any of the suggestions. I recently added jeor0980 to https://www.drupal.org/project/google_cse, but when he tried to visit https://www.drupal.org/project/google_cse/git-instructions he was told something like "git account not configured" with a link to configure it.
So while I was still able to add him as a maintainer, there wasn't any confusion about why he couldn't create a branch. Since this is 4+ years old, I'm just going to move it to fixed.
