I have updated the mentor guide to tell people to use the old way (JIRA tickets) if they cannot use it.
IPMC members can technically create GITBOX repos, although they may not see the podling in the dropdown if they are not associated (in LDAP) with the podling. PPMC members can create GITBOX repos for their associated projects.
Only pmc-chairs, root, and secretary can create GIT-WIP repos.
https://selfserve.apache.org <https://selfserve.apache.org/> is for creating GIT-WIP repos.
https://gitbox.apache.org <https://gitbox.apache.org/> is for creating GITBOX (r/w github) repos.
The miscommunication is in the selection of git-wip vs. gitbox repos. We have generally been asking that all new podlings go on gitbox, but there is clearly some confusion regarding the “self-serve” nomenclature and who can do what (including within infra!)
We’ll try and update the documentation on the actual self-serve pages to make it more indicative of the karma requirements, but I hope this clears up the issue for the Incubator. If you find any of the above to not be the case, please let Infra know so we can sort it out.

It was I who originally raised this issue. I didn’t expect much to be done. I was very pleasantly surprised.
Thank you to John Ament, Mark Thomas, Greg Stein and Chris Lambertus (and maybe others I am unaware of) for each picking up the baton and driving this issue to a solution.

Yeah, it's really helpful that ASF member can create resources.

Quite frequently this is the case but there are also a fair number of
instances where this is not the case for some projects. I certainly have
had to fill in for a PMC chair a few times using my infra karma. Rather
than relying on another PMC chair or officer happening to be around, or
on a mentor also being a PMC chair or officer, I'd like to see this
opened up a little.
We trust ASF members. They have access to security@ and a bunch of other
sensitive lists and they should be familiar enough with the foundation
standards and procedures - or at least self-aware enough to know when
they don't know.
Opening this up to include ASF members addresses all of the instances I
can think of:
- it would include all podling mentors since they must be ASF members
- it would include the IPMC for the same reason, allowing them to
back-stop the mentors if required
- it would enable ASF members on PMCs to provide cover if the PMC chair
was unavailable.

I think it’s worth a discussion. With the existing technology, I believe opening up to PMCs would also include PPMCs, and that’s where we feel the greatest risk would be, as PPMC members may not be fully aware of standards and procedures.

My understanding is that any pmc-chair can create resources for any project via selfserve.a.o. It does not have to be the pmc chair of that specific project, so there should be quite a few people who can create these resources at any given time.

Is there any chance of relaxing the restrictions there a little? I'm
thinking either to include members of the incubator PMC or, making it a
little wider - ASF members?
I get that this is increasing risk. I'm wondering if the benefit it
would give in terms of unblocking incubator mentors (and PMCs where the
Chair is unavailable) is worth that risk.

I am specifically referring to the creation of git repos with my reply, nothing else. You are correct in that the other selfserve.a.o tools for Jira, Confluence, lists, etc., are pmc-chairs, root, and secretary only. We will try and be more accurate about the karma specifics when closing issues as being “self service.”

Chris,
As far as I know, self serve is for more than just git repos. It also
supports JIRA requests, confluence, mailing lists. Each of these are also
chair only and where the issue comes in.

> Only pmc-chairs, root, and secretary can create GIT-WIP repos.

>
> https://selfserve.apache.org is for creating GIT-WIP repos.
>
> https://gitbox.apache.org is for creating GITBOX (r/w github) repos.

> The miscommunication is in the selection of git-wip vs. gitbox repos. We

> clearly some confusion regarding the “self-serve” nomenclature and who can
> do what (including within infra!)

>
> We’ll try and update the documentation on the actual self-serve pages to
> make it more indicative of the karma requirements, but I hope this clears
> up the issue for the Incubator. If you find any of the above to not be the
> case, please let Infra know so we can sort it out.
