bloom release noetic incomplete

[v4hn]

@mqcmd196 rightfully requested a new noetic release in #21 and I tried to do it.
Turns out I am missing permissions for the https://github.com/orgs/pr2-gbp organization for some reason and cannot push the release to bloom right now (see below)

I believe @k-okada is the only one who might have access there and can be contacted.
@mqcmd196 Please talk to him in my name to check if he can grant me the missing permissions.
It's possible he's missing the permissions to do that as well, though he can at least run the command that fails for me below.

@davefeilseifer If you happen to read this: You were the one who pushed the original package release for this repo to noetic in 2021 and I believe you have full admin permissions for the @pr2-gbp org (permissions are not public for it). If you can, please grant me permissions so I can push out noetic fixes. I met with @k-okada et al. a while ago and we started clearing out some pr2 packages since then.

@davefeilseifer ? @TheDash ? @sloretz ? @clalancette ? @nuclearsandwich ?could someone give us the permission?

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

@gbiggs Does anyone at OSRF have write or admin access to https://github.com/pr2-gbp ?

[clalancette]

I also do not have permission for that organization.

[sloretz]

OOB Geoff doesn't know what happened to permissions on the pr2-gbp org either. I recommend contacting Github Support to try to get your access restored.

If that fails, as a last sort I would recommend cloning the release repo to a new org and updating ros/rosdistro accordingly.

[v4hn]

@wjwwood: Would be great if you could check your permissions for the pr2-gbp org.
As per ros-gbp/rqt_pr2_dashboard-release#1 (comment) you had Owner access to the org in the past and granted it to @dirk-thomas and @k-okada as well, but at least Kei's permissions are gone.

I will contact gh support as well.

[v4hn]

I contacted GH support, but they will not change ownership or grant access following their policies.
They will forward a message to the current anonymous owners, though my hopes are not very high that any of them is still active.

@sloretz @gbiggs Please nudge William through another channel to check whether he can grant access.

If there's no reply from the anonymous owners in a while I guess the annoying, but logical, next step is to migrate the rosdistro release repo entries to a different organization, possibly @ros-gbp (or @ros2-gbp although there will not be a ROS2 release of the packages in the near future).

[ahendrix]

It appears I no longer have any access to the pr2-gbp repository either. Sorry.

[v4hn]

Yesterday a community member discovered that the whole pr2-gbp organization was removed from github, invalidating various entries in the melodic/noetic sections of rosdistro.

It's highly frustrating that this step was taken by some anonymous person who retained ownership for an organization they were apparently not involved with anymore.

This leaves us no choice but to follow the next step described above if we want to repair the ROS releases.

the annoying, but logical, next step is to migrate the rosdistro release repo entries to a different organization, possibly https://github.com/ros-gbp (or https://github.com/ros2-gbp although there will not be a ROS2 release of the packages in the near future).

@sloretz I would appreciate guidance on whether we should ask for new repositories in ros-gbp, ros2-gbp, or host it independently again.

I am the owner of the repository - I woke up this morning and saw emails relating to this issue. I have contacted support to restore the repository. Once it is restored I will transfer ownership to (edit: all of you working on the pr2). I had no idea this was still being used by anyone. Sorry everyone.

[UltronDestroyer]

Ownership is being transferred to @gbiggs. pr2-gbp has been restored
