First things first, I read the Twitter updates on the @wikimediatech channel. But, I'm for the idea of moving the logging to a separate account.
Now, as to the access idea, I know Twitter has an API that we might be able to utilize ( https://dev.twitter.com/ ). I don't know how easy it would be, but could we write an application that someone could login to (using an individual username and password that they request) and then use that application to post updates.
Just a thought.

I don't think it should be something requiring shell access. There might be a very skilled secretary to summarise a blog into a tweet but dangerous to be given a command line. Or you may want to involve some community people in the future.
I think the closest real-world example is Guillaume, but yeah, that's a valid point.
Does identi.ca allow an ACL of users allowed to push tweets with a shared account?.
I don't know. It would be nice to have that. I'm not at all married to the shell script idea, as long as we can enforce some kind of access control.
