You misunderstood me.
I meant that if you don't care about the specific number, you just make
a request saying you'll take the highest free UID/GID pair at the time
(that said, please try to use matching UID/GID for convenience's sake).
That is, unless you want to take a specific lower number.
Since there's no point in waiting again, just look at uid-gid.txt, find
highest free UID/GID, verify that nobody else used or requested it.
Then commit it, and make sure to update uid-gid.txt.
