Who gave [S. Kelly] the right to update the whole Boost repository?

I did.

Was this discussed on this ML or on a specific ML that is not an official Boost ML?

Probably not. Steve had posted his patches, but there was little or no response. In practice, whole-repository improvements only get made by very brave old-timers because it's impossible to generate across-the-board approval for a large patchset covering many libraries. I made an executive decision to trust Steve with the changes he was making. That is not to say that I necessarily endorse all elements of his plan. I trust that he won't make any major changes without first generating consensus. -- Dave Abrahams
