Aaron mentioned he would take care of this, but I wanted to bring this up so it isn't forgotten:

For the git projects, we need: - A separate group for each project, instead of "projects" - An owner assigned to each project (not root)

I am volunteering as the owner for the initscripts, klibc-extras and mkinitcpio projects.

ACLs work well here for what we need to do with the groups. I'd recommend keeping all folders as owned by group projects, but using an ACL to add an additional group as we did with pacman: $ getfacl pacman.git/ # file: pacman.git # owner: root # group: projects user::rwx group::rwx group:pacman:rwx mask::rwx other::r-x default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:group:pacman:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::r-x We may want to tweak and document this setup, but this would ensure we could have a projects 'overlord' continue to make changes to things without having to be in every new project group, and we could still give individual project access to the other developers by using a new group and an ACL. Put me down for pacman if Aaron doesn't want to take it. -Dan
