SPI "owns" several resources for Debian.  This is primary relevant for
the things that must not go away, like our published images.

It will make it easier to have uninterupted access, esp as people in
Debian are coming and going.  So if we want to use it for longer,
definitely.

- Get DPL involved, esp as most cloud providers want a credit card
  somewhere on signup.
- Get SPI to sign-off on the contract details.

I assume here that a single DD just created an account and signed the
existing contract?

Then the technical details needs to be figured out.  I assume this
account should then not be restricted to ci.debian.net, but others
should be able to use resources as well.

For AWS we have some Terraform code that configures the projects and
permissions to it (yes, I did not forget the AWS account for you guys).
Okay, AWS might be more complex, that's why it requires more stuff to
work correctly.  We might want to do something similar for Huawei.

I just did a brief look in the documentation to see what our options
are.  A single Huawei account contains a global identity management and
can contain several projects.  So all users and permissions can only be
managed by a global admin user.  But permissions can be specified on
separate projects.  That might work.
