 > We don't have a dedicated user for all those plugins.

 We do, it's the `githubsync` bot, it's credentials are set as organization
 secrets:
 https://github.com/organizations/WordPress/settings/secrets/actions which
 is exposed to a selected set of repo's.

 Some plugins have their own account, such as gutenberg and performance-lab
 because they rejected the forced plugin-release-confirmation that comes
 with having `githubsync` on the account or being owned by
 `wordpressdotorg`.

 I've
  - Added the `githubsync` user to the plugin committers list
  - Enabled those secrets for that user
  - Rotated the users SVN password because why not

 > You are a committer on that plugin. You do have access to add other
 committers yourself.

 @Otto42 No he can't :)  He's required to contact the plugins team to do
 that, not create a Meta ticket.  Only plugin reviewers can alter the
 committers for the plugin.

 This applies to all plugins in the 'Beta' category.

 The actual message shown to such users is:

 >  Management of this plugin has been limited for security reasons. Please
 contact the plugins team for assistance to add/remove committers, or to
 perform other actions that are unavailable.


 > Add to Committers: dkotter, isotropic, flixos90, swissspidy.

 Done. In future, please email plugins at wordpress.org for this, or ask for
 help in #meta
