The maintainer(s) of the site will get full access (ssh). However, this 
is restricted to the absolute minimum number of people. Other people can 
register on the website and upload files if needed. The server is http 
only, so no ftp.

All projects that wish to use the subversion server (we're still on CVS 
but moving to SVN at the moment) can migrate their projects to the xfce 
subversion repository if they wish (proper approval needed as usual).

well, I think it's important that submissions and uploads are tested and 
verified before putting them live on the website. I'm sure that this 
will be taken into account.

I'm pretty sure this is what we're gonna setup ;^). Care to help?
