Not only this, I still like the idea of forking from Twisted/ldaptor
in my own repo and working on my own branch. When finished, I usually
send a merge request upstream, in this case to Twisted/ldaptor. I
assume that it would either be accepted or rejected with comments.  If
this is too much overhead for you, then the below is a good idea and
give make us contributors.

This works by creating a team with 'write access' to twisted/ldaptor.
This would make you (Glyph) the gatekeeper (admin access by default)
in adding and kicking members out of the group. The rest of the world
is technically in the 'read access'  team as is the nature of open
organizations on github.
