Upload currently requires an account on the server, giving everyone an
account is a security risk.
It also doesnt really make sense to give someone access who doesnt
need access.
If someone wants to take care of uploads (s)he can have access.

Of course if theres a majority wanting everyone with push access to
have an account on the server, sure we will do that but i dont think
its a good idea.
IMHO its always better (aka more secure) if access is kept at a minimum.

besides, it would be a bit of work to keep the list of who has push
access and who has sampeles access synchronized. Its different servers
and different types of "accounts"
and the whole point from my point of view is that id like to spend my
time on other areas on FFmpeg
While keeping accounts synchronized would be probably more work than
doing the uploads myself

Thanks
