Giri followed up with me, and a search of the mail archives reveals this earlier email from Rajiv (raj...@yahoo-inc.com):
========= Yahoo hosts build slaves for Hadoop and other ASF projects. Since Hadoop development community requested to keep slaves separated from other ASF projects, Infra team doesn't want to maintain it. Machines in Y! data center (minerva, vesta, etc) are in apache.org domain and are managed by ASF infra. The rest, asf*.ygridcore.net are managed by me. Most of the accounts those boxes are not Yahoos. Any commiter, independent of their employer, can get access and the expectation the it would only be used for builds. This restriction was put in to stop people from using these as their personal dev boxes. ========= Not sure if this situation has changed with the new boxes, but I emailed Rajiv about access. Thanks all!
