I've just a main comment on your proposed changes (and which relates to
the limit stated in the delegation): I think DSA should be free to
terminate/lock accounts as needed, what they should rather only propose
to DAM is the expulsion to the project. I.e., I see a difference between
"having a (working) account" and "being a project member". So, in
paragraphs like:

and

I will clarify that what will be be proposed to DAM is expulsion, not
account locking/termination (which is usual sysadm business and I don't
see why DSA should not have that power).

In case you like this change, please find attached a patch against the
current v1.1.2 branch.

Cheers.
