I think the permissions are linked, yeah.

Don't understand why you're saying core-dev here; the kernel uploaders
team should grant the necessary permissions to be able to execute the
copying. Do you mean to say that you do not need/want this team any
more (if it's not useful)?

FWIW, Copying seems fine assuming the person doing that is reviewing as
appropriate.

Easiest way would be to have him do a proper application, if you want to
keep the team. If it's as you say, then it hould be easy to get the
required number of +1s. :)
