I am not sure what you mean by auto-publish (it isn't really automatic ;-)
but the editor for example can publish in TR (without the need of Team 
contact nor Webmaster).
But there are two way for the TTWG to agree on such process:

- a TTWG agreement for  *all* future WebVTT WDs . In that case the 
editor can publish in the future whenether he wants, without having to 
request publication approuval to the WG.
- a TTWG agreement  *each* time the WG publishes a WebVTT WD. This gives 
more control of the document to the TTWG, I guess.

Hope it clarifies your question.

Best,

Thierry
