I really do not think that we should give write access to some web
exposed bot to any of your repositories. We never allowed that in the
past and I do not think we should begin to do that.

For what I understand from Ferenc's explanation on IRC, it is about
being to store the configuration changed done via the web frontend in
git. As the idea itself is good (having that in the repo is good), I
would rather go the other way round, modify the configuration in the
repo by human being. Configurations can be exported or fetched
relatively easily.

Cheers,
