That solves some confusion, as the notification email came.
I'm 100% behind the reason, although a suggestion for the future:

I wonder about having this in gitlab/bugzilla issue tracking with
follow-up action/commit.
It serves as a nice example of transparent/open-source development

That said, I'm not 100% sure if permission changes are tracked - git
or otherwise.
