Patchwork's ACL is very limited. It has 3 types there:
	- People (every email it detects);
	- User (the ones that created a password);
	- Project maintainers;

A "people" can't do anything special, except be promoted to "users", by
setting a password for him.

An "user" can only set his emails, enable/disable opt-out/opt-in, set his
primary project and the number of patches per page.

The Project maintainers can do everything in the project.

It would be great to have a feature there allowing the user to change the
status of their own patches, and to let the project maintainers to delegate
a patch to an user[1].

[1] well, I think it can delegate it right now, but only a project
maintainer can change the patch status, so, delegation doesn't work
if the "delegated user" is not a project owner.

Mauro
