RT requests for a new repository creation need to be clear on which GitHub organization should be created under. 

The process should be as follow:

  • There is no further TSC approval needed, so we can proceed as long as we have all the information
  • Identify which Github organization should the repository be created under. (Most times requestor makes this clear)
  • Make sure there is information on who the contributors will be for these new repository.
  • Branch permissions and General Settings should be also set same way as other existing projects within the organization, unless otherwise mentioned in the request.
