 toonn | Hmm, looks like a GitHub App is the only way to get the required permissions, "However, the GITHUB_TOKEN can only access resources within the workflow's repository. If you need to access additional resources, such as resources in an organization or in another repository, you can use a GitHub App." | 16:01:06 |

 emily | we have a GitHub App for CI | 16:24:31 |
| emily | which already has write access to Nixpkgs | 16:24:36 |
| emily | the token is in the GHA secrets | 16:24:43 |
| emily | (the private key I mean) | 16:24:58 |
| toonn | The required permission is still "members: write". | 16:41:40 |
| emily | right, of course | 16:53:52 |
| emily | (I mean, not actually because you can just assign a maintainer for the nixpkgs-maintainers team) | 16:54:15 |
| emily | (but our CI already has write permissions to Nixpkgs) | 16:54:23 |
| toonn | Would it need to write to Nixpkgs? To update handles in the maintainer list, I guess? Can you assign a GH Action as a maintainer? Repository permissions aren't enough to do organization changes, no? | 16:58:49 |
