Gah, slang…

This is currently used for a smaller group. And It think it make sense 
to keep the "ability to push draft patch", and "responsability to 
maintain" Mercurial separated to put extra burden of people who get the 
commit bits.

We currently have multiple groups:

"Matt":
   contains: Matt Mackall
   can: access to the publishing repository, can make release
"Mercurial Council":
   contains: Benoit Boissinot, Matt Mackall, Dirkjan Ochtman
   can: decide how to spend Project money SFC side (iirc)
"Co-maintainers":
   contains: Pierre-Yves David, Augie Fackler, Matt Mackall
   can: gather regularly and try to plan the future,
"Reviewers":
   contains:
   * Pierre-Yves David
   * Augie Fackler
   * Matt Mackall
   * Yuya Nishihara
   * Bryan O'Sullivan
   * Martin von Zweigbergk
   can: Push the clowncopter and repo/reviewers
"Crew" (deprecated in practice):
   contains: list here https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/CrewRepository
   can: Push to crew
"Contributors""
   contains: all
   can: send and review patches on the list.
