We discussed this in IRC, and the basic idea is that we want to give
limited access to "new" people so they can prove themselves without
being in danger of blowing something entirely up.

I think the new wiki running on OpenShift is a great way to give Dave
limited-but-full access. Also, I want to do the same for Garrett - not
that he's asking to be a full Infra person, but it would be beneficial
to have him able to just-do-stuff there.

This seems to me to be in line with what we've been saying on the Infra
team; I'm going to go ahead and upload their sshkeys to OpenShift to
give them access so they can help us get ready for the switchover.
