I recently asked James Troup about the opportunity to delegate the wiki to
someone external to DSA and he wasn't really interested, pointing out that
DSA hadn't received that many requests concerning the wiki.
Since then we got several of them through the RT and as you mention there
are open issues as well in the BTS.

So I also believe that we would benefit from a "wiki admin/maintainer".
But is there someone volunteering ?
Sam, tt might we worth asking in the next "Bits of the DPL".
