github project ownership

[Alex Chaffee]

I was poking around just now trying to add a post-commit hook so the
list gets emailed when there's a commit, when I realized that although
I'm a collaborator, I don't have rights to edit the project. Is anyone
still at Pivotal with the mojo to set this up (Chad?)... or, better
yet, promote me to owner? Or is that something only the official
Github owner can do (in this case, the pivotal account)? And in that
case... should erector move to its own github account?

I'll bring this up for discussion in the Pivotal Common Code meeting.
For now, if you give me the hook, I can add it.

This is really a failing of GitHub's admin authorization support. You
should be able to allow collaborators to administer projects.
Supposedly they are working on authorization and group-related
features.
