Karma granting (RE: svn commit: r611633)

Please note: there is special karma required to edit that file. PMC Chairs have it, as do select others. In the Incubator, we are blessed to have a fair number of PMC members who do have karma for asf-authorization, but we do not give out *that* karma. So not all Mentors will be able to grant authorizations. They should simply follow through to make sure that any of us who *do* have the karma, implement the karma grant.

Hi Noel,
This is the kind of thing that IMHO we need to clarify in our written
doc.
If a Mentor is not a PMC chair or an svnadmin, what should we suggest?
"If no Mentor is authorized to update the file, send email to
incubator-general and request someone update the file"
"If no Mentor is authorized to update the file, create an
infrastructure JIRA and request someone update the file"
Something else?
Craig

I don't think that granting karma to podlings should be a task for the
incubator PMC chair.
It just doesn't scale.

most people who have this karma gained it by working as a chair or in
the infrastructure team. members do not require this karma as part of
their oversight role so it make sense to restrict it to just those
that need it.
IMO granting authorization is a task for the chair and it's important
to talk about the role rather than just karma.
