I would expect the master-branch-related "procedure" to be the same as 
for "develop". As I understand, I myself cannot create an entry point 
for the library (which is reasonable) and Daniel did that for me in the 
develop branch. So, I suspect, someone with super-duper permissions 
would need to step in. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
