Frankly, I'm not quite sure of the permissions model, and even what
"admin" means.

I'm "maintainer" of the linux-wireless project on the kernel.org
patchwork, and in that role I think I should be able to change the
auto-delegate settings.
However, the kernel.org server admin might not trust me with arbitrary
regexps.

I see no problem with that.
