[Mesa-dev] GitLab Migration: Users and Groups

[Jason Ekstrand]

As a quick update, I was wrong about what I said below.  Masters cannot
add/remove users, only Owners can.  I've made everyone in the Masters list
below an Owner.  It also means that you can do all sorts of dangerous
things like delete the entire mesa group.  Please be careful. :-)
