The IMHO largest problem with debian.net is currently: All entries are
assigned to single people. However we try to create more teams which do
things together and avoid single people dropping out.
Also it's currently a mix of services people can use and internal
domains that just exists because they need a name. So it's not an easy
task to collect what is what without asking.
For the productive Salsa domains, we opted in to just assign them to the
service user instead of one of the developers. This however means that
only DSA can actually change entries, which somewhat negates the
original purpose of debian.net.

I miss a bit what they would actually do here. It also depends on what
this page should be about. Services that people can use? Services that
exist?

This sounds more like donation stuff, but yes, it would be helpful.

How would you devise the relationship with the cloud team, which
currently holds the accounts and does the more privileged stuff with
them? (And also is tasked to actually procure contracts with those
vendors.)
