You need to make the offer to the Debian System Administrators [1], not the debian-sparc list. That said, I doubt doubt your kind offer will be accepted as is because, although the specs of the system are very nice, the hosting does not conform with the standards DSA generally looks for. DSA in general looks for a company sponsored, long-term commitment with the systems hosted in the company's data center. There are exceptions, but these are mainly among the "slower" ports. Please email DSA with your offer, especially if you see possibilities for alternative hosting. You should also be aware that hosting an official developer system means that _all_ Debian developers will get an account on the box by default. An alternative is to host the machines yourself and make them available to individual developers. Or of course, if you can spare some time yourself, to perform periodic installation tests and follow kernel upgrades and thus help by reporting/tracing/fixing issues.
