Documenting outcome and chosen solution ...

I chatted on #gnome-hackers.  I was informed that I needed to be one of
the maintainers of the project (as listed in the $project.doap file in
my project's GIT repo) to be able to access project settings.

In the end I used a little documented alternative of creating logo.png
in my project's GIT repo to set the project's avatar.
