I have verified this from Christophe (he had thought that he was no
longer a cclan admin).  I have not spoken to dan_b or stig (I assume the
former is Dan Barlow, I don't know how to dereference the latter).

Without active participation from a designated sourceforge admin, it's
impossible to give the commit bit to anyone, AFAIK.  Gary has the commit
bit, and has been filtering ASDF patches, but he cannot bless anyone
with this privilege.

I'd suggest that we make sure we have approximately 3 active admins, to
make sure that this kind of thing can be done.

Best,
