K... so how/where else can we host this stuff? Can we do it via wordpress? I know on my other blogs you can upload docs/images/etc and allow them to be downloaded again (though not easily uploaded)? When we get wordpress running on journal.gnome.org, we could plan on setting up a "Downloads" page w/ links to all the material, and a note at the bottom to email stuff back to us for updating/etc

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?
