We've had a lot of registrations on the issue tracker recently, and you may recall that those users done have permissions to create, edit or comment on anything by default.
I've done my best to establish which ones were genuine registrations (as opposed to bots) and added those 11 users to the editor_group today (which gives them those permissions). To follow up I've sent them the email you see copied below to encourage them to contribute now that they can. All their email addresses were bcc'ed for privacy reasons, but their usernames are public (from the commits@ mailing list showing that they signed up) so you can find them below: otto, miron, marcomangiante, mhcox, leefay, mobigate, alek6cu, alvabai, dconnell, habakuk, peterkur Lets welcome them with open arms :) (Oh and do speak up if a spambot got through!) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joachim Dreimann <[email protected]> Date: 8 April 2013 17:39 Subject: Welcome to Apache Bloodhound!
