... assuming that there's any work that *can* be done without having access. Case in point: I would very much like to set up the required buildd environments on the Debian computers in question. (Presumably they already run a buildd for sid...) I can't do that without actual root-level access to them. "You want to help? Start by buying your own mips machine!" isn't going to cut it.
