Since there is a major push in both Squeak and Pharo to be clear about what's
loading where, and get more and more projects loadable; and the community is
fixing projects that we don't own...

I propose:
1. Everyone make your SqS repos globally writable unless you have a reason
not to.
2. SqS admins, send an email to all the repo admins requesting this.

Motivation: I've been fixing many projects as I try to load them, as a
service to the community, but I am not necessarily taking on being
responsible for their long-term maintenance.  Right now, the process seems
to be:
1. Upload fixes to my own repo
2. Email the project admin (if they are even still findable)
3. Post to the mailing lists with the new link
4. Wait for a response

Not only is this more complicated than it has to be, but creates confusion. 
For example, I fixed ExternalWebBrowser to work in Pharo, but couldn't
upload it to the project repo.  Now I fixed the ConfigurationOf.  Where do I
put it?  If I put it in the usual places, it will now point to my personal
repository.  It doesn't seem right to hijack someone else's project this
way.  And it's confusing for users - why are there two ExternalWebBrowsers
and ConfigurationOfs on squeaksource?

Thanks.
Sean
