Hi Kai-Martin,

IMHO there are two permissions that are wanted to be able to do 
development work efficient:

1) commit rights (either junior or senior) on a repository (DJ is very 
liberal at giving pcb commit rights),

2) being member of the "pcb bug team" or the "gEDA bug team", as to 
track progress and communicate.

I just checked: I see no new applications in Launchpad.

AFAICT, no bug team rejections either, just a total of three members who 
left (AndyM, PeterB and Traumflug).


Any member of gEDAhead would want to have 1) as well.


I don't see the additional value of gEDAhead.


Just my EUR 0.02 on the matter.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
