Hi Jiri,

Each open source project can set their own rules about how small a group
of people can have access to the results. Some projects are very
sensitive about potential security issues and keep it to a few core
folks.

Other projects are less strict. In the Linux case, I forward any
requests off to a handful of Linux people who give me a thumbs-up/down
on the request.

Generally, if I get a request from a maintainer, it has always been
approved.
