Andy, I don't think we're learning anything new here -- the signpost has always been produced by volunteers, and has often had a somewhat irregular publication schedule.
I think Pine is trying to do his/her best to get through an immediate challenge, and I'm not sure it's fair to him/her to use this as an excuse to bring up a topic that could be broached at any time. At minimum, it seems best to wait until this issue had shipped, and Ed has returned to an Internet enabled location, before giving into the broader questions.

We need a password for the automated publishing process that we don't
have, and we're trying to get it. I have been working through some of the (complicated and poorly documented) Signpost templates and LivingBot for manual publication but there are still parts that I can't work out.
Why does such as an important service have a critical "single point of failure"? What changes will be made, as a result of the lessons learned from this?
