I was not clear in my response. I have root access on the server that
hosts source.squeak.org (it runs on our andreas.box.squeak.org server
hosted on Rackspace). As such, I am ready to serve as a backup to Chris
if any emergency situation arises.

I am not however an "admin" in the actual source.squeak.org application,
which means that my own 'dtl' account in that application does not have
the admin bit set.

I think that one of the existing admins could flip the bit to make me
an admin in the source.squeak.org application, but at the moment I am
not able to reset someone's password on source.squeak.org.

I can see that there is a 'bgs' account on source.squeak.org, but I
cannot edit that account to reset the password.

If I understand correctly, the problem we are trying to solve is that
Boris needs to be able to commit to this repository as specified in
his Monticello Browser in Squeak:

MCHttpRepository
	location: 'http://source.squeak.org/VMMaker'
	user: 'bgs'
	password: 'bgspassword'

Here the user 'bgs' is the account that currently exists on source.squeak.org,
and 'bgspassword' would be Boris' password on that account.

I can see the the 'bgs' account exists, and as long as it has a password
that Boris can specify, then commits to that repository should work.

My guess is that the password may need to be reset, but that is just
a guess.
