Thanks for your efforts and the weekly information update.

While I have no real idea how it could be implemented I would like to
discuss the topic of user roles.  The Debian internal projects Debian-Jr
and Debian-Med have a big need for this feature and we tried to implement
some hack for the old menu system.  But I would really like to have this
feature included into the original design if the menu system is rewritten
from scratch.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards
