Usage of groups

Usage of groups

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello folks,

I've contacted PatchWork people and asked for details how to make it
properly fit our needs. Bellow goes the answer they gave me.

OK, I've decrypted this message :) and managed to set up Khem's account 
so he can change patch state.

I'm thinking that people with commit access should be given maintainer 
status so they can mark patches as needed? How does that sound? If you 
have submitted a patch, can you change the state at the moment? Could 
someone check?

Thanks,

Philip
