The QA team is very open to welcoming new members and their
contributions. However, not everything can be labelled as QA work, and
not everybody wants to do work inside a team, so I'm relunctant to use
the QA infrastructure as a placeholder for every script people want to
run on alioth.

Before you can prove that a service is useful, you need to develop it.
For that, it's convenient to have a place which is similar to the final
destination of the service, where you can easily hack. Also, it's often
not desirable to hack on the production version of a service.
A good solution could be to serve public_html from wagner instead of
vasks. I don't really see the point in serving it from vasks.
Alternatively, we could use collab-maint's htdocs, but there's an ACL
missing on wagner:/home/groups/collab-maint/htdocs.
