So, after discussion on RT, it is clear that DSA doesn't want to
re-enable userdirs.
Does someone have time to investigate all the current ressources hosted
in userdirs (looking at apache2 logs, for example)? If not, we should
probably just announce that the data exported by qa.debian.org might be
inaccurate until someone finds all the places that need to be fixed.
