First step towards GitHub integration

[Craig Rodrigues]

git-admin,

Bartlomiej is interested in integrating github and Bugzilla via the github
REST interface.
Can you work with him to give him any access he needs to accomplish this?

I am not 100% sure on what Bartlomiej needs, but he may need
to be able to set up commit hooks that use the REST API.

Can you help him?

Thanks.
