Updating the delegation for the Debian System Administrators (DSA)



Dear Developers,

It is my pleasure to announce that, after being trainees for the last few
months[1,2], Paul Wise <pabs> and Julien Cristau <jcristau> are now
official members of the Debian System Administrators team.

The updated delegation follows, between dashed lines. The task description
was also updated with two mostly-cosmetic changes:
   - correlation of GPG keys to the according accounts based on requests
     from the Debian Keyring Maintainers
-- Setting up and administering Debian-owned machines, ensuring that they
-  are kept secure, operational, and running.
+- Setting up and administering most of Debian-owned machines, ensuring
+  that they are kept secure, operational, and running
 - Coordinating with local admins of the machines regarding network
   connectivity and (if needed) asking for remote hands
 - Granting required rights to other developers who need them to maintain
   a particular service
 - Handle standard services like the debian.org email alias that each
   developer has or keeping DNS up to date
-- complete install requests for porter chroots
 - maintaining the Debian Machine Usage Policies (DMUP), within the
   following limits:

The first change clarifies that there are some Debian-owned machines that
are not under DSA control[3], for various (good) reasons.
The second change reflects the fact that users of the chroots can now
install build dependencies themselves, as documented[4].

DSA delegation
==============

I hereby appoint the following developers as members of the Debian
System Administrators (DSA) team:

- Julien Cristau       (jcristau)
- Luca Filipozzi       (lfilipoz)
- Paul Wise            (pabs)

Any previous Debian System Administrators delegation, not explicitly
listed above, is revoked. The delegation is not time-limited. It will be
effective until further changes by present or future DPLs.


Task Description
----------------

Debian System Administrator team members handle the basic infrastructure
of the project. They are responsible for tasks that include:

- Maintaining the central user (LDAP) database listing all the Debian
  developers. This includes:
  - account creation and deletion based on requests from the Debian
    Account Managers
  - correlation of GPG keys to the according accounts based on requests
    from the Debian Keyring Maintainers
- Setting up and administering most of Debian-owned machines, ensuring
  that they are kept secure, operational, and running
- Coordinating with local admins of the machines regarding network
  connectivity and (if needed) asking for remote hands
- Granting required rights to other developers who need them to maintain
  a particular service
- Handle standard services like the debian.org email alias that each
  developer has or keeping DNS up to date
- maintaining the Debian Machine Usage Policies (DMUP), within the
  following limits:
  - the DMUP cannot directly cause the expulsion of a developer from the
    project; it can however propose the developer for expulsion to DAM,
    on the basis of DMUP violation
  - changes to the DMUP shall be announced to the debian-devel-announce
    mailing list at least 2 months in advance with respect to when they
    are supposed to become effective
