[Jenkins-infra] Fine-grained Artifactory upload permissions

[Daniel Beck]

Hi everyone,

I just enabled fine-grained Artifactory upload permissions, limiting who is allowed to upload which artifacts.

What does this mean for you as Jenkins plugin developers?

Ideally, nothing more than a quick PR to this repository before you release any particular plugin or other component _for the first time_:

https://github.com/jenkins-infra/repository-permissions-updater/

I initialized permissions based on uploads since January 2014, so if you've uploaded a plugin or other artifact since then, you should be in the list of authorized uploaders (data you can check is in that repo). As this wasn't a fully automated process, and there's a number of special snowflakes in the repository, it's possible I accidentally left you out. In that case, please file a PR as described in that repository's README, and we'll get you set up.

A few notes:

- I'm still working through recent hosting requests. If your plugin is unreleased, there is no corresponding permissions file, so uploads may fail.
- Documentation beyond this email and the repository README does not yet exist, but it will soon.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or urgently need a permission to release something, let me know -- via email, directly or in this thread, or contact danielbeck in #jenkins on Freenode.
