We surely have ssh keys for most DMs these days, via gitlab,
monkeysphere, or some other mechanism. Maybe we could we grant those
DMs access?
Alternately, can we provide anonymous ssh access to ssh-upload and just
be done with the whole FTP mess once and for all? it's 2018, and far
too much of the Internet is actively hostile to cleartext traffic.
Even OpenBSD's CVS server uses anonymous ssh for access these days:

If it doesn't support the DELAYED queue, that should be fixed. is there
a reason that DELAYED isn't available via ssh-upload?
