That was not the plan, the plan (unless it has changed since last time i 
asked) is to have a team of "trusted people" that can create repos on 
phabricator, so basically you'd open a ticket and you'd get a repo created in 
a matter of minutes, not automagic, but surely you can continue coding for 15 
minutes while you wait for your repository to be created.
