[uw.mfcf.bugs] super-users file doesn't support multiple administrations

MFCF just distributed the MFCF super-users file to watpix, but we want
the CGL super-users entries on watpix too.  How can we have both?
Or do I just add the cgl stuff to pix and tell MFCF not to touch the file?

I only distributed the file to hosts that didn't already have it,
just to avoid everyone's having to create their own entries as
we find we need it on each machine.

There are no plans to do anything to update these files automatically
so you can have both.

Yes, feel free to change any on machines you administer,
and no, you don't have to tell us not to touch the file.
(By touch I assume you mean we shouldn't clobber the file,
 not that we can't manually add or delete entries.)
