Jono, I've CC'ed you because of the community system administration team, see below.

Tiber was donated by canonical to host REVU, so it was even at that time a bit misused for that. AFAIUI (and if you are a canonical sysadmin, please correct me), canonical is not willing to do system administration, account maintenance, incident investigating, user exiry, backups, etc. (well, all related task of system administration) for a fuzzy group like ubuntu-dev (MOTUs). And TBH, I can fully understand that. However, having said this, there is still the option that we as MOTUs organize ourselves. We do have access to donated machines (currently that is sparky and spooky), where we can organize and develop tools for system administration ourselves. One group working on this is currently the ubuntuwire team, which can be contacted via irc on #ubuntuwire (if you prefer to contact us in private, please email either me or imbrandon). We have started to work on some import scripts for using libnss-db, and do have plans, but definitely need more manpower to review and actually implement our plans. I've been told by Ng that there were some plans to form a team of system administrators for the ubuntu LOCO servers, a machine from the programme tiber was in. Ng said he didn't know what the current status is, but Jono should know. Jono, can you give us an update about this team? Perhaps we can/should join that with ubuntuwire? -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
