Manpower is no longer a problem, thanks to Ganneff we're now using
dak, which means every Debian developer can upload his packages (but I
still need to manually add his gpg key to the backports.org keyring).
A while back, I talked with Joey about the required infrastructure to
provide security advisories, but until now I had no time to implement
it.
