As I said in another post, I have granted write access to Hector.

Partial write access is not supported. Whoever get write access as a
member of "ddp" on alioth shall have full write acess to all DDP pages.
De facto policy:
For DD:
* request write acesss in anyway
* private mail to me
* debian-doc mailing list post I happen to notice
* alioth web interface to request access
* I gnerally grant write acesss
For non-DD
* He needs to present me:
* explicit reasons to have write access
* track record or substance of contents
* If translation already have previous commiter, verify and cordinate with him.
* Ask him to use alioth web interface to request access after making
alioth account
Alioth web interface is at:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/ddp/
Currently, 93 people there.
The admin access are for the following who can add accounts.
| Wolfgang Borgert debacle
| Raphaël Hertzog hertzog
| Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a jfs
| Josip Rodin joy
| Lucas Nussbaum lucas
| Osamu Aoki osamu
| Pierre Machard pmachard
| Simon Paillard spaillard
I think we need to make account clean up of unused ones (especially
non-DD) after squeeze release.
Also, http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs#obtaining needs to be updated in
line with the practive. I think something about presentation of "track
record" and "explicit rationale" are missing there.
As for some odd activity of copying sources between upstream VCS to DDP,
we need to update build script to make it pull from other VCS too. I
think d-i is good example in which submodules may be pulled from git
repo while main VCS is kept in svn repo. They do this using "mr". That
is for wheezy :-)
Another thing to consider is to make build environment in some kind of
chroot using testing distributon snapshot so we will not suffer issues
such as po4a transition and source will be compatible between package
and web building.
