It would be super helpful to have a team base permission. We generally have 3 "teams": readers (non-engineering collaborators), engineers (maintainer) and a couple of "owner level" users. It would be super helpful to be able to give teams, or people, a base permission across the organization's repositories. For example, all engineers get the maintainer permission, all non-engineers get the reader permission, etc.

Right now the only way I found is to set the base permission to read, then add each individual repository to the engineering team and manually give them a maintainer permission per repository. Quite a manual process which is prone to be forgotten anytime someone creates a repo.
