I agree. Initially when i was submitting the news to fedora-announce
list for the first time. I had to wait a bit for admins to come on-line
to give me the required perms.
This should not happen with other editors.
Pascal, Oisin, it would be great if you would put in a ticket for the

I would be the primary person responsible for posting to the list.
In case i fall sick or something like that, any one of you can take over.
 It would be good to spread out all the editorial duties and
