Distribution Administration Is Scary
The consequences for an accidental slip in the administration of Distributions, Releases and Ports in Launchpad are huge. For this reason, we need to be extra careful with permissions on those actions. This spec tracks that work.

Whiteboard
sabdfl 9/Nov/2005 - currently launchpad.Admins is required for creating distro, distrorelease and distroarchrelease, and only the launchpad-admins team get those permissions. this is sufficient paranoia. Still needed: a document describing the process to get approval to open a new distro, release or port.
cprov 20/Jun/2006 - we may have time to sort pending issues in UDS. Decreasing priority for a while, soyuz team will be busy.
sabdfl 30/06/06 i implemented this a while ago, check the comments in zcml/distributi
