We can't restrict commit access to one repo in a project with savannah. Are you OK with giving commit access to an external tool? It would be configured to push to that separate repo, but basically you're giving commit access to all of our repos (maintenance and guix itself) to fedora people :)

I'll try to contact everyone today, but some of these emails might end up in a spam folder, because my server is so small. Can you also send something to the translators alias?
