patch pumpkin

backup pumpkin
patch pumpkin
pumpkineer
pumpking
A humourous term for the token - the object
(notional or real) that gives its possessor (the "pumpking" or
the "pumpkineer") exclusive access to something, e.g. applying
patches to a master copy of source (for which the pumpkin
is called a "patch pumpkin").

David Croy once told me once that at a previous job, there was
one tape drive and multiple systems that used it for backups.
But instead of some high-tech exclusion software, they used a
low-tech method to prevent multiple simultaneous backups: a
stuffed pumpkin. No one was allowed to make backups unless
they had the "backup pumpkin".

patch pumpkin
(jargon) | patch pumpkin
n.
[Perl hackers] A notional token passed around among the members of a
project. Possession of the patch pumpkin means one has the exclusive
authority to make changes on the project's master source tree. The implicit
assumption is that pumpkin holder status is temporary and rotates
periodically among senior project members.
This term comes from the Perl development community, but has been sighted
elsewhere. It derives from a stuffed-toy pumpkin that was passed around at
a development shop years ago as the access control for a shared backup-tape
drive.
