Folks, Brion is Wikimedia's CTO. He just told you that you just have to ask to
get access. So, ask!

I don't want root-access as I don't have the knowlege on how to set up the osm-stuff. I have user-level access to cassini and for me as developer that's really, really cool!

But I saw some people resign, who once were willing to do the job, like Sven [1] or, in some way, Julian [2] or Aude [3].

As far as i can tell there are some people around that are willing to help, but the feedback they get is very weak. I think the main problem is giving root-access to someone unknown to wmf and this is perspicuous. But aude e.g. did not even ask for root-acces, just for the permissions to get postgres-user on cassini (see [4]).

To come to conclusion, are you, brion, willing to give sven, julian and aude the permissions they want and are you sven, julian and aude willing to help on setting up the systems? Then I hereby declare you man and wife. :)
