I think you will at least need to kick this off yourself. I would suggest
writing a mail to debian-devel that explains the web frontend and the
open issues that need to be resolved. You probably also need to explain
somewhat how it is implemented and the environment in which it operates
(e.g. could ssh, certificates, .htaccess, etc. be supported; the need to
keep things "light").
You could then ask for suggestions how authentication, authorization,
privacy could be ensured.
I think that with Phill Hand's "auto install" framework we already have a
very good base to implement this: we'd just have to add an additional
installation method ('web-install/enabled=true' maybe), with an
(optional?) parameter for a password or other authentication scheme.
