Did you get those answers from the relevant teams? Was there a rationale
for those answers?

I can give root rights to porters who want to administrate the machine,
yes.

I'd rather not have to take care of routine maintenance but I can stay as
a backup in case of need.

To be a useful porter machine, it would be nice if all DD can have access
to it. But if it's not administrated by DSA, I don't know if the newly
announced self-served chroot service can be setup on this machine.
