> error: failed to add owners to crate about: api errors: only members of github:rust-crates:reclaimers can add it as an owner

This should be added to the README. How do you get added?

[vitiral]

I'm a little confused, you have a crate (in which you are the owner) and you are running the following from within that crate's repo:

 cargo owner --add github:rust-crates:reclaimers

and you are getting this error message?

[notriddle]

Yeah, I also tried running the command and got this:

error: failed to add owners to crate rest: api errors: It looks like you don't have permission to query a necessary property from Github to complete this request. You may need to re-authenticate on crates.io to grant permission to read github org memberships. Just go to https://crates.io/login

I think you need to join the org before you can add it as an owner...

Maybe making the user public would fix it. Not 100% sure though.
