Corey,

You are assuming wrongly. You have the full write access to
/git/openstack, and you can "git push origin debian/libery" if you want
(you need the above full command line for new branches).

The thing is, Alioth is bad currently, because all is black & white: you
can define an ACL to give write access yes/no, and that's it. Which is
why pushing everything on upstream Gerrit will be so much better.

Note that currently, I haven't plugged a Jenkins to do package build on
push for the liberty branch. I hope to be able to do so "soon".

BTW, Corey, are you on IRC? Under what nick name? Also, did you start
the Debian NM process, so you can gain the upload rights to the Debian
archive some day?

Cheers,
