have write access using git. Do I have to notify anyone controlling the Boost superproject about this ?
No! You don't have to notify anyone. Individual libraries in modular boost are much more independent that in the old svn single repo approach. As long as it is OK with other collaborators working on the library, you can push, branch, merge, rename branches (except develop and master), delete branches (except develop and master), rename files, and make all sorts of other changes without concern about the super-project. You can do releases of your library, too, and do so asynchronously from the super-project release schedule. When you do a release of your library (by pushing a change to your library's master branch), it will automatically get picked up in the next super-project snapshot. Daniel James is leading a discussion of that right now. HTH, --Beman PS: I'll be traveling until Monday, with limited connectivity, so may be slow to respond to replies.
