As there's been very little, if any, interest from anybody besides
Stefan and Recruiters / Developer Relations I'm going to deny the
contributor access idea. Recruiters and Developer Relations feels that
this is a bad idea, especially seeing how hard it has been to reach any
kind of resolution regarding who should get access and how we should
solve the problems that I've outlined earlier.
