Registering for Commons Beta

Are there instructions somewhere of how to get the gwtoolset permission? All the instructions say on this page is "you will need to be a registered user at one of the following websites and ask the site admin to add you to the ‘gwtoolset’ permission group" but it doesn't explain how to do this.

Thanks

User rights

The prerequisite for user rights was not clear when I signed up and I only noticed the new bullet point this morning. I've registered a new account at Commons Beta (which wasn't mentioned) but the user rights request process seems clumsy. I cannot access IRC. The link just takes me to a Google search (using Google Chrome; I don't think it recognises it as a valid link). Am I really supposed to spam every bureaucrat and developer on Commons Beta with my request? Do they even monitor their Commons Beta talk pages? (The first few I looked at hadn't been active in a long time.) Isn't there a better way to do this? - AdamBMorgan (talk/meta) 13:38, 7 April 2015 (BST)
