The lesser, the better, for now  they will receive all notifications for 
plugins. (We should probably create another group just for this 
notifications, feel free to add a ticket).


"Staff" flag is required for accessing the control panel, superusers 
have it automatically so you don't need to set it.

List staff: http://plugins.qgis.org/admin/auth/user/?is_staff__exact=1
List superusers: 
http://plugins.qgis.org/admin/auth/user/?is_superuser__exact=1

There is another permission group (Website Editors) for those that can 
edit the CMS pages (like the Home Page, for example), they also need to 
be "staff" in order to log in to the control panel, I guess that Alex 
Neto, Delazj and a few other  documentation people could contribute to 
maintain the public pages.

Other users that are currently in staff (and are not superadmin) can 
probably be just "trusted" so that they can approve their own plugins 
and get their versions automatically approved. To make a user "trusted" 
in the control panel, you must give a user the permission "plugins can 
approve plugins" (this can also be done from the front-end).


Cheers.
