I have requested a capability where multiple people have
write capability to a tree which can then be pulled
to the official tree.

It is possible to do this on another git server,
but that means that it is less visible to other Buildroot users.

It is simple to implement.
Create the "common" user, and let developers have
write access to "~common/git", possibly using a symbolic link.

That comments is irrelevant because I am not asking for commit
access to the official tree.
