For a couple of the mips buildds, at least, I'm the local admin and as such deal with issues related to the hardware and perhaps some of the other things (installs, kernels maybe, etc). I havn't got much to do w/ the buildds on them though. Soliciting debian-alpha for people might help find someone, if that's necessary (though it sounds like maybe it isn't in this specific case..). I'd be willing to consider hosting an alpha box if necessary, the only reason I hesitate is I havn't got an unlimited supply of power & bw. If a hosting company in the Northern Virginia area was willing to donate some space, power & bw (and not much at that, really) I'd be happy to be the 'local admin' and deal with caring for however many machines they'd be willing to host..
