the job of the TSC is sketched in the TSC Charter like this:
"To govern access to all technical aspects of OpenEmbedded, this includes
official git trees, openembedded-devel mailing list, bug trackers, QA systems,
and others as the TSC sees fit."

In this context my interpretation would be that the TSC grants permissions for
write access to the Git tree but nothing more. And further control related to
the responsible use of Git is not defined and IMHO never was. Phil has the
required permissions to create a layer, so why he would have to ask?

If there are really members out there who interpret this sentence as "you have
to ask the TSC for everything related to use of the Git server" we need to
discuss the charter again. If we do not make this more clear it won't take long
and someone steps up claiming that the TSC would have to accept any single
commit :-/

Greetings

Florian
