Contributors would need to get root permissions on the Jenkins slaves
(the machines that do the actual building/testing).  There is no need
for root access on the Jenkins master (build.gluster.org). Because
Jenkins accounts are connected to the PAM cofiguration on
build.gluster.org, contributors would get an account there (does not
need to have a shell?).

Works for me. Please send a new page with a description on what
requirements a (new) contributor needs to fullfill, what privileges are
given and a little on when/how to use those.
