You'll get a file as part of moving to a proper shared namespace. For that =
you need to file a sysadmin request.

I guess the docs need a bit more detail for the case when a project starts =
"in KDE". Something like

- create project in your namespace
- push some initial code
- file sysadmin request to have it moved to some shared namespace
- this results in lifecycle:playground
- then follow the review process to move on from there

CCing Thiago in the hopes that I don't have to update the docs :D
