Restricting developers to read-only access on the main repo

[Tobias Bouschen]

Hi all,

We recently decided to change the workflow for existing contributors to
create PRs for the Saros project.

We are going to restrict write access to the core developers of the
project. Other developers/contributors will only have read access to the
main repo.

With this restriction, the current workflow is no longer possible.
Instead, the new workflow is based on forks of the repo:

Basically, every developers keeps a fork of the official Saros repo. As
this fork is completely independent to the main repo, you can develop
however you want. Once you are satisfied with your changes, you can
create a PR onto the main repo. At this point you should be able to work
with the PR as beforehand. The only restriction is that you will no
longer be able to add tags to the PR or directly request reviews through
the UI. Requesting reviews can be done by asking the users directly
using their tag.

The new process is described in more detail on out website:
https://www.saros-project.org/contribute/processes/development.html

This change will be applied immediately. If you think you still need
write access to the main repository, please write me an email explaining
the necessity.

Best regards,
Tobias
