Sorry for the very slow response time on this.

We discussed this yesterday. We would like the contributor who was
interested in setting up the Google Play account to feel empowered to
go ahead and create the account, manage it, and to use GNOME branding
as appropriate. We expect that the account will be managed responsibly
and that problems will be unlikely.

Since this would be an official GNOME account, and we want to ensure
that we do not lose access to the account if an individual contributor
disappears, we suggest that the password to access the account be
stored wherever the Board stores other shared passwords.
