Um. You couldn't be farther from the truth.
Most of the hosts that run services are accessible to all DDs, and of
the rest the hosts are at least accessible to the team running the
service.
The standard setup is that service stuff lives in /srv/$service. Teams
tend to not have root. For most web based services they, however, still
have access to update their apache vhost configuration.
See for instance picconi.debian.org, which runs one the packages.d.o
master, or glinka.debian.org which runs a bunch of things, or even
buxtehude.debian.org which runs the BTS.

I think Debian providing services to other distributions would be just
fine.
