Description
patch to add a DEVELOPER_VIEW permission.
The reason is, 'Developer Tools' is confusing to users, as it has nothing to do with our site. So I hide it from non-admins.

This patch does not seem like it is all that useful since one typically (and good practice probably suggests never) develops on a production Trac instance that others have access to. Can you suggest another use case for this that I might not be thinking of?

I don't primarily develop on a production trac server, however, these tools are useful for problem resolution at times.
At the least, it would help one create more realistic screen shots.

debugger.py:post_process_request also requires a DEVELOPER_VIEW permissions check for if 'debug' not in req.args

The patch looks good to me. If an experienced Trac developer can sign off on it, I'd be happy to push it to the repository.

While generally I support your position, I see Steven's point too.
Can't harm to have this in, but in addition to Leho's comment you should ensure that the output of get_permission_actions is always a list, or the list of permissions could get messed up badly. I think I saw this happen when tampering with adding permissions to another plugin on my own: I got multiple single-char permissions instead of one.

Replying to hasienda:
Can't harm to have this in, ...
That was my thought too after reading the discussion that followed. I'm fairly sure this plugin is currently un-maintained. I think I reassigned this ticket to Osimons early on thinking he was maintaining it, but had a discussion with him later and he said that's not the case.
I'll leave this for a few days to see if anyone has comments about the maintenance status.

DEVELOP as an action name seems a bit inconsistent with the naming conventions of the other action names. What about TRAC_DEVELOP?
