Hi,

In general, we want to avoid handing out admin rights in the future. At
the same time, we are planning to allow projects to submit pull requests
to our Jiro repo and change the configuration of their CI instance. E.g.
adding plugins, etc. This will allow better tracking of configuration
changes and rollback in case of issues.

We understand that some projects (like OpenJ9) heavily rely on their
admin permissions. We will make sure to find an amicable solution.

Regards,

Fred
