I spend most of my spare time working as a volunteer (sadly
debian gets very little of that attention), but it does mean

The question (as i saw it) was more aobut who can vote - i
dont expect you to leave the ground when a user says 'jump'.
but if the only user whos allowed to say jump is a DD, then
therse a problem.
