  <div>
    <p>I don't want this to turn into a debate.<br>
      <br>
      I agree, we need to move source control to git.</p>
    <p>I even mostly agree we should do most of our dev work on github
      for the visibility to draw other developers.</p>
    <p>To move forward with this:</p>
    <p>1) I would actually need access to the github 'crosswire'
      organization, which I currently don't have.</p>
    <p>2) I am happy to migrate our 27 repos there (yes, I was also
      surprised we have 27, but even these old ones would be nice to
      have on github for posterity).<br>
      3) After #2, I would love for Github experts to help me find a
      solution that effectively grant elevated access to individuals for
      merging PRs into our master repository without my approval FOR
      CERTAIN PARTS OF THE REPO they own or are trusted to approve.</p>
    <p>This #3 item had been the primary element holding us back from
      moving from SVN to git.  If you are unaware, SVN has a very easy
      way to elevate permissions for accounts for parts of the
      repository.  I don't want to have to approve all changes!  I trust
      our pumpkin holders to care for their parts of the repository.</p>
    <p>We've discussed, in the past, submodules for handle this, but
      they do not handle this well.  e.g., I want to grant Greg Hellings
      full write access to merge any PR which updates any of our cmake
      scripts in all folders everywhere.  I don't know anything about
      cmake and Greg is an expert.  I want him to be able to manage that
      build system without my oversight.  I trust him.  I do not want to
      grant Greg merge access for code that has anything to do with our
      C++ engine.  He might be a great C++ programmer, but he hasn't
      expressed he wants that access or ever submitted C++ code for me
      to review and merge myself, so I want to protect Greg from
      accidentally merging in someone's PR which includes C++ engine
      code.</p>
    <p>In SVN this is easy.  Attached is our SVN access file.  Help me
      translate this workflow to Github.  There must be some way to
      restrict merges based on the merging user and files modified in
      the PR.  Or at least require a review by certain users bases on
      the files modified in the PR.</p>
    <p>Help me :)</p>
