[SAC] shell access

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Sorry to be repetitious about this but yesterday I served as  
Lorenzo's "svn gateway" - doing updates on the www.osgeo.org servers  
just so he could test his new layout changes.  This is because he has  
no shell access to the machine.  He does all his testing on the test  
server, then we use svn update to move the changes over to the main.   
This is fine when I am around and have time to help, but I'm afraid  
I'm a serious bottleneck.  Every time I'm on the road someone seems  
to need my help and I can't always do it.  I suggest SAC consider  
giving him shell  access so he can at least handle his own layout  
changes.

I know there is reluctance to doing this, but I think having another  
person (from a european timezone) with good knowledge, interest and  
good mojo would be helpful at this point.
