I would like to point out an important detail here: unless you want to 
review tests or to participate in the general shepherding of the test 
suite, you don't need to send me your GitHub login.

More specifically, if you only plan to contribute tests, you don't need 
to send me anything: you already can.

The way things works for contributors (irrespective of whether they have 
push access or not) is this: all contributions are made through pull 
requests. That's how we organise code review. The only thing that we ask 
is that pull requests not be merged by whoever made the request. So 
anyone with a GitHub account is already 100% set up to contribute.

If you *do* wish to help with the reviewing and organisation effort, 
you're more than welcome to and I'll be happy to add you. I just wanted 
to make sure that people realise there's zero overhead for regular 
contributions.
