 On the https://blog.torproject.org/admin/people page it turns out some
 people have the "blogger" role, and other people don't.

 There are now two intermediate roles, "authenticated user" and "blogger".
 I guess that was true on the old blog too, but I don't think we had
 anybody in the "has an account but doesn't have the blogger role" there.
 Somehow some of the users lost that role in the transition. Or maybe we
 did have that distinction, but the people without the blogger role could
 still blog, edit comments, etc on the old blog. I'm not sure.

 I just went through and added the blogger role to most people, so it isn't
 an urgent issue now.

 Is there a downside to merging the two roles, that is, simplifying by
 making everybody who has an account into a blogger?

 I guess we could go the other way too, which is letting ordinary people
 make accounts on our blog, so they can be the same human each time they
 comment, and maybe even so they can bypass captchas and stuff. Is there a
 downside to that? :)
