Problem/Motivation

I am a provisional release manager and I need permissions to edit handbook pages such as Drupal core release cycle: major, minor, and patch releases.

Thanks

Adding my +1 here. :) We granted @quietone guide maintainer permissions, but numerous release management pages are full HTML to restrict editing permissions and/or to support unusual HTML needs.

I am not opposed to giving the role. But if this is role is required to maintain some documentation (i.e. she/he is not going to be on spam patrol or help out onboarding new community members), it may not be the best solution.

I understand that the problem sought solved it that some of these documentation pages pages are complex enough to warrant "Full HTML".

Maybe it would be more practical to grant the role "Drupal core subsystem maintainer" access to the "Full HTML" text format? I assume this is going to bite other people with this role as well.

quietone is not merely a subsystem maintainer; she is a Drupal core release manager. We have used this method in the past to grant core committers the role.

Also, there are a number of release management pages that are set to full HTML to prevent random editing by non-release-managers. quietone is one of the release managers, though.

Please don't block this on changing the permissions architecture. :) I'm fine with that as a followup, but she needs this access now.

Also, in general, quietone is very active as a mentor and always considerate of new users.

There are many situations where committers have to act as moderators. It is a group of 13 people who all have an extreme level of trust for respectful behavior and community leadership.

Apologies for #4, I got the roles "site moderator" and "content moderator" conflated.

It sounds like "content moderator" is the precise role required, so it is a +1 one from me, no "but …"

Please note that this is the site moderators issue queue, and I don't think any of the regular site moderators have enough permissions to actually grant the role (I certainly don't). Perhaps you need to ping somebody higher up, such as mlhess or hestenet.
