Permissions & Github Status API

[Dave Cadwallader]

I'm looking to use the Github Org plugin to post pass/fail results to the Github status API on pull requests. 

It looks like the user that owns the OAuth token needs to have write access to the repo.

I'm wondering if there is a way to allow this user to post to the status API without actually having access to commit code.  There should be no reason for the system user to ever change code.  Want to avoid a security hole.
