the gentoo/gentoo repo is not listed in the repos for the gentoo/developers team which means far fewer developers have access to manage things in there
This is intentional. Otherwise developers are going to accidentally click the big 'merge' button and get stuff merged into the mirror instead of the real repo.
doesn't really matter when the main repo is being pushed with --force into github. there's lots of things developers can do wrong in Gentoo, but we don't lock them out.
Should be open now. Let's see how that works.
