Etienne,

Technically anyone in the gdal sandbox svn group can grant
membership in it, but it does not seem that we passed any
RFC or motion addressing how we want this handled.  Our
practice appears to be that the sandbox is primary a play area
for commiters rather than a work area for non-commiters.  The
only non-commiter in the sandbox is Chris Schmidt.

In the absence of a clear policy I'm willing to add Patrick
in the sandbox area as long as you can provide me his
OSGeo userid.  I'll also try to bring forward an RFC update
regularizing this.

Best regards,
