+### GNU webpages repository access for www members
+
+Members of the www group (= GNU webmasters) have write access to the
+webpage repository for all gnu (not nongnu) projects.  This is
+accomplished with ACLs.  See ChangeLog entries by Beuc for 2006-06-28
+and 2006-05-10, recorded in
+<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-hackers-public/2016-05/msg00031.html>.
+The key command is:
+
+    setfacl -m default:group:www:rwx -m group:www:rwx DIRS
+
+The `Cvs.pm` Savane module apparently installs this access for new gnu
+projects and directories.
