Think "improve bus factor"
that is always good idea :)
The process that should be told is weather it is OK (or not) that
any DD member is allowed to (or may) add new members to the Salsa team.
only Salsa python-team "owners" should/could add members. List is:
Ondřej Nový @onovy
Piotr Ożarowski @piotr
Scott Kitterman @kitterman
Stefano Rivera @stefanor
Bernd Zeimetz @bzed
Which privileges the new member gets initially.
all members have same privileges. Push to Git repos and do team uploads (explained in policy).
What checks are needed.
tha's up to admins :)
If the salsa web interface is right tool,
or that script "foo" is the preferred.
it's manual work now.
Where to communicate that it is (being) processed.
it's not. Because when is processed, it's finished in same day.
