Changes to team maintainer and permissions in trac-hacks GitHub org

[RjOllos]

GitHub has rolled out a new permission model and team features (1). The changes appear to be useful for the trac-hacks organization.

Each repository has a team associated with it. The following changes have been made to the team:

* The original owner of the repository has been set as the "team maintainer", and has full permissions for that repository. Of particular interest, this individual can add and remove users from the team (did any maintainers receive an email notification when I made this change?).

* All other members of the team have write access (previously, due to limitation of GitHub, all team members had admin access, with permissions equivalent to what the team maintainer has now). There are no other members of the team unless the "team maintainer" has chosen to grant access to other members.

* All teams are visible to other members of the organization.

With regard to the last point, one particularly nice feature that is new: "A visible team can be seen and @mentioned by every member of this organization."

As noted in (2), there still appears to be no way to request an invite to the organization through GitHub, so if you'd like to join please reply here or email me directly.

One more point:

* Members of the trac-hacks organization should be able to create new repositories.
