I've been investigating whether it's possible to request/apply for
(builder) permission for a project via copr api or copr-cli.
I.e. the equivalent of what I can do via
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/<not-me>/<not-my-project>/permissions/.
I haven't seen anything like that in api [1] or "copr-cli modify".

The reason is that with packit [2] we eventually want to have a service
that would build packages in copr, so that upstream maintainers could
directly see (in a pull request), whether a upstream change (PR) doesn't
break in downstream (fedora). And in case they wanted to use their
existing copr repo, we'd need our service to have builder permission in
that repo and we don't want to manually request it via web for every
such project.

Thanks,
Jiri
