[sakai-pmc] grant Ben Holmes commit access to Signup tool

[Kirschner, Beth]

Perhaps we could ask the project lead (Peter Liu) and cc the PMC to keep us informed as the general practice from now until re-evaluated for the transition to github?

As far as documentation, this may or may not be documented (and may be documented in contradictory fashion in confluence) -- our confluence woes of over-information persist :-(

We may decide we need rather more contributors and fewer committers (i.e., those with a right to merge a pull request to our core repos).  Then again, we might simply grandfather in the current set of active committers.  Either way, the PMC, in my opinion, should decide such questions, either formally or via a lazy consensus.
