Description

#333 added the possibility to restrict access to the whole shipit instance to a single GitHub team.

Ideally we should improve the granularity, and do access restriction by stack.

As I see it, it should be in the shipit.yml:

teams:
  - ACME/developers
  - MyOrg/deployers

Research direction

Start by reading how shipit.yml is parsed and how the whole-instance restriction from #333 is enforced. Trace the access check through stack selection, then define the configuration and behavior needed for separate GitHub teams per stack. Done means the issue's per-stack access restriction is supported and covered by the relevant tests.
