Allowing users to create their own repos is an interesting idea, but I imagine it's been discussed elsewhere. If anyone has a bug link, that'd be great.
Not sure about a bug, but my understanding from previous wikitech-l threads is that the primary obstacle was the Gerrit does not (or did not at the time) allow actually deleting repos, only 'archiving' them, and that the rights for creating repos are/were bundled with other administrative rights that we didn't want to hand out widely.
Chad, that still the case?
That was part of it. With 2.5, we'll be able to actually delete repos, so the "can't get rid of mistakes" argument goes away.
They are decoupled from admin rights, but the setup process isn't always straightforward (new extensions are, though). At least having a real queue with notifications & such would streamline the process.
