Currently, only a tiny portion of the accounts created in Mozilla's version control systems are tied to some type of official policy. Most of what actually happens is processed under some generic requirements plus specific requirements depending on what type of access is being requested. The purpose of this document is to codify all types of account requests and the current processes and policies used to govern each type. The hope is that official policies can be written that takes these separate types into account and makes the current process easier for everybody.
