That's what Karsten, Robert, Mike, Itamar, you and others are working on at the moment (between the mission statement, the "trust seed", managing configs with Puppet, and we still need to figure out how we can graduate involvement and trust so that people not on the team can make positive contributions and thus build reputation and join the team.

If I could suggest a possible evaluation for cases like mine (which require shell access): * This person contain contributions in the upstream project? (git log, wiki, QA, documentation, etc. Could help to determine) * The upstream maintainer of project [agree/trust] with that? (need to contact maintainer)

Question is, would that same criteria help get me commit access to ovirt-engine?

However, still require contact > additional people (not good for quick fixes). Part of what we are doing is looking for the balance that lets us keep services at a professional sysadmin level. We don't want to bog ourselves down with process, but we want some consistency in what to do and how to do it (a process) so those with sudo access are coordinated. Basically, this means Infra needs to provide training materials to people.

However, > I see your point of view. :-) Upstream maintainers (ovirt-engine, > vdsm) could help to resolve this puzzle. I'm not sure I understand the puzzle. Technically speaking, a host administer can do everything he wants. We *trust* him not do use his powers unecessarily. Preferably, there should be various levels of permissions - being able to setup Jenkins slaves should not mean automatically being able to `git rm` our repo. Since I've known Douglas for a year or so now, I trust him to never abuse his admin rights. I'm looking forward to see him in the infra team, being able to quickly fix infrastructural problems in our testing framework.
