Proposal: let's just use the FAS group already

Thank you for the summary Bob. I was necessary.

The entire project, including infra uses FAS groups to grant volunteers
access to various resources. I see no reason why QA shouldn't use this
too.

+1 for this.

I haven't found the reasons. Unfortunately, I really don't have the time
to go through the archives and hunt them down. A one sentence summary
would be helpful :)

If the issue is to do with inactive members, it's something all
volunteer projects need to tackle. As long as the number of active
members is more than inactive ones, or even sufficient to handle QA
tasks properly, the inactive ones can just be left alone. Mods can prune
them out when they have nothing else to do.

If the issue is some shortcoming in the design of FAS or how the project
is structured, I'd be most interested in listening to it at the right
channels: infra probably?

+1 to Adam's proposal. I see no "game" here. Let's not turn Adam into
Moriarty ;)
