Bureaucrats are highly trusting contributors at the local level.
Optionally, community should be able to choose a responsible person
(or a group of persons). However, we need some defaults. Also, admins
should be representatives at communities without bureaucrats (but,
with admins). (And I am not sure that projects without admins have
communities at all.)
