I would like someone other than Jesus to sync upstream SDK with downstream.

The steps to sync a release are defined in the downstream readme:

https://github.com/openshift/ocp-release-operator-sdk#syncing

Acceptance criteria:

•  PR against downstream repo
•  passing downstream CI

My setup looks as follows:

openshift https://github.com/openshift/ocp-release-operator-sdk.git (fetch)
openshift no_push (push)
origin git@github.com:jmrodri/ocp-release-operator-sdk.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:jmrodri/ocp-release-operator-sdk.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk.git (fetch)
upstream no_push (push)

1. fork https://github.com/openshift/ocp-release-operator-sdk.git 
2. clone your fork
3. git remote add openshift https://github.com/openshift/ocp-release-operator-sdk.git
4. git remote add upstream https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk.git
5. disable push on openshift:  git remote set-url --push openshift no_push
6. disable push on upstream:  git remote set-url --push upstream no_push{{}}
7. That way there is no accidental pushing to the wrong repos{{}}
