Right. As long as Mesa people agree then any project owner can just go
ahead and create the owner in Mesa themselves; no need for admins to
do anything.

Absolutely correct.

It's quite fine-grained, yes. It inherits the permissions of the Mesa
group, so anyone who has permission to Mesa can commit to it. You can
also add committers specifically to the adriconf project, so they can
only commit to that. Again this doesn't need admin intervention, you
can just go ahead and do it yourself.

Cheers,
