+A note about git write access
+-----------------------------
+
+The matplotlib developers need to figure out if there should be write
+access to the git repository. This implies using the personal URL
+(``gi...@gi...:astraw/matplotlib.git``) rather than the public URL
+(``git://github.com/astraw/matplotlib.git``) for the
+repository. However, doing so may make life complicated in the sense
+that then there are two writeable matplotlib repositories, which must
+be synced to prevent divergence. This is probably not an
+insurmountable problem, but it is a problem that the developers should
+reach a consensus about. Watch this space...
