Yeah, I'm seeing one of two types of requests come in:
1) People that need that extra group to vote or have access to something
that apply to the first thing they see.

2) People that want to work with something but don't understand they
need to be a part of the Docs Project first.

Hopefully we don't have requests where people are trying to gain access
to stuff to do bad things.

Yeah, this needs to happen.  I'm not sure how many groups are out there
but it is time to do some auditing, again.

If we make all the git/svn/etc groups dependent on Docs membership this
might help with all the requests.

We should review these requests weekly, at least.

Can't we add a link in the description that shows people the proper
joining process?

Yeah, that's a good plan.  We have some tools in IRC that allow us to
look at FAS IDs and see if something doesn't look right.
