There is no policy per-se, we have done this in the past, specifically for 
repo:status tokens;

INFRA-19879
INFRA-20042

Please create an infra jira ticket. Unfortunately, it’s an extremely manual 
process on our end, and requires Infra to create and maintain an account and 
password+token for each project, so it’s something we try to avoid unless 
absolutely necessary. 

Note that this only applies to repo:status. We will not provide any machine 
tokens which would allow for repo:write.
