An update: I am able to edit the VMMaker project on SqueakMap (I made a
minor update to point to the current location of the swiki page). But when
I select "edit releases" for VMMaker, the SqueakMap web interface gives me
a large red-font warning "Not authorized to update this release". Fair
enough, because the existing releases were done by someone else, and I
should not be allowed to go back in time and change them. But there appears
to be no way for me to create a new release without going through that screen,
so it looks like a catch-22.

I must be missing something obvious ... surely this cannot be the first time
in the history of SqueakMap that someone has tried to set up a co-maintainer
on a project ?!?
