Actually, we have special NM templates for people who are interested in
working on documentation and translation.
But this leaves the problem if a translator or artist really needs to
have all rights a DDs has, including shells on Debian hosts, upload
permissions and other, potentially security-relevant stuff. Do we need
to hand out real accounts to people who don't need them, or should we
add new titles to allow them to identify with Debian ("Debian
Translator", for example)?
