Add cake-contrib user to Cake.GitVersioning NuGet package

[gep13]

First of all, I wanted to thank you for adding to the Cake community by adding this addin.

I was just wondering if you had seen this blog post:

http://cakebuild.net/blog/2016/08/cake-contribution-organization

We are currently going through a process of increasing the visibility of addins, and also trying to ensure their long term maintainability.

To that end, we are asking addin creators to add the cake-contrib user on NuGet as a co-owner (this can be done through the NuGet website by clicking on Manage Owners on the package page).

Would you be interested in doing this? If you have any questions about this, please let me know. There was some initial concern that the Cake Team were trying to "take over" packages, and that couldn't be further from the truth, and if you have this concern, or others, I would like to address them.

Thanks!

The blog post answers most of my questions. The only remaining questions are regarding the security of the cake-contrib account.

1. Is 2FA turned on?
2. How are the credentials protected?
3. How many people have access?
4. What qualifications are demanded of people before they gain access to that account?

@AArnott thanks for following up, let me see if I can address your questions.

1. Yes, 2FA is enabled on this account
2. The credentials are stored in a shared LastPass Subscription which we get as part of membership of the .NET Foundation
3. Currently there are 7 people in the Core Team at Cake (myself, @patriksvensson, @devlead, @agc93, @pascalberger, @mholo65 and @daveaglick)
4. Can you elaborate on what you mean here by qualifications? Only people who are brought into the Core Cake Team, and made a member of the Organisation, would be given access to this account.

Please let me know if I didn't address any of your concerns.

Yes, that addresses my concerns. Thank you. I've added cake-contrib as a package owner.
