No, I'm afraid this is not ok. The way GNOME git currently works, if
you have a git account, you have full
commit access to every repository. As a result, we tend to only
approve git accounts of proved developers /
translators and not $RANDOM_PERSON. Can you go over the expected
workflow for all of this?
