Right, but the wording is clear - you need to have rights to commit into an
official QGIS Git repository, not your own local copy. I don't think anyone
is likely to misconstrue this meaning. This list of who has commit rights
would be obtained by looking in the GitHub settings for each repository
that is hosted under https://github.com/qgis
