The goal would be making it possible for other contributors to push to
the main repo.  With the current one as a personal repo, its not
possible for others to do anything other than branch, and propose
changes.  Again, it would be a suggestion (not a directive) to steer
the maintainer toward a more collaborative approach, thus bettering
the current situation.

Best wishes,
