Now that the migration to gitlab must happen, I think its good to have a
discussion about what the Android Tools Team policy for granting
membership to the team on gitlab should be.  Right now, seamlik, cdesai,
and me are "Owner", deki is "Developer", and Manas Kashyap is
"Reporter".  Here are the descriptions of the roles:

https://salsa.debian.org/help/user/permissions

Lots of Debian teams generally grant project privileges pretty easily.
I think that makes sense for this team, though its easier to do more
damage in gitlab than on alioth.  So here's a quick stab at an idea for
this policy:

* any request to become a member is granted at least "Reporter" level

* any Debian Developer or previous contributor is granted at least
  "Developer" level

* specific requests for "Master" level must be posted to
  https://salsa.debian.org/android-tools-team/admin/issues and are
  approved by "lazy consensus"

"Lazy consensus" goes like this: if no one objects to a request within
one week or so, then any Master/Owner is free to grant the request.  So
silence is considered approval, but not automatic approval.  An existing
Master/Owner must actually grant the request after the waiting period.

I'm open to other ideas, discussion, objections, etc.
