I don't. You want this to be an official PHP thing, then it should be hosted on an official machine. We can't have each subproject being run by somebody else (if only for security reasons).
As much as I'd like to see this project expedited, as well, I agree with Derick, here. It would be nice to have an independent server, but we can't risk the possibility of its admins becoming "rogue", and dirtying the php.net domain.
umh but if there are 4-5 administrators the possibility that they *all* join the dark force is kind of limited isn't it ? If you have the new box protected by lids (http://www.lids.org/)
and regularly monitored & updated it should be fairly secure. I am sure that among the docs team there are at least few expert server administrators.
system could have access to the new machine and run some routine security checks. Or someone could donate a new box/hard disk to system if that helps. Of course systems should be available to run the necessary changes and positive to the idea.
Far fetched, maybe.. but systems should be controlled by the systems team.
