Hey, Joey's not the demigod around here ;-P
Basically, any Debian developer in the webwml group can add someone to the
passwd file. But you do that without asking and you die. (Am I repeating
myself? :)) We also like people to add to the CVS version of the passwd file
when modifying the copy on klecker, so that there's a log.
Mart, here's an example for how to do it:
% dpkg -S =mkpasswd
whois: /usr/bin/mkpasswd
% mkpasswd
Password: [foo]
8Tzpu678MSx3I
% mkpasswd foo
I3d4DUzwjhorA
...
Send such a password to e.g. webmaster@debian.org (encrypted or not, it
doesn't really matter) and you'll have CVS access.
