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

[Aaron Zeckoski]

If we are talking global commit then it is a no from me based on a
lack of substantial historic contributions to anything outside of 4
patches for signup tool over the past few months (which is great but
that's contributor level and not committer level IMO). If we are
talking about commit to signup then I have no objections or opinion.
That is up to the people actively working in that code and I refuse to
increase their burden by approving or blocking commit access.
