Wichert is root and edits /etc/sudoers on his liking. Even if I requested root rights several times, I only got rights to call the script to create SVN repo. I tried to do as much as possible on this issue, I've filed the required information in the support tracker, I reassigned the request to Wichert, increased the priorities and asked him to check his top-level support requests. I pestered him on IRC twice or thrice without results. Sorry, I can't do more. I know Wichert is a bit disappointed because despite all the money/sponsors we have, we're waiting for more than a year for a new machine. The main problems appears to be DSA who must give an approval that they're willing to admin the machine before we can decide to buy it/accept the donation... and since DSA are always overwhelmed with more urgent issues (new ftpmaster and so on), we're getting nowhere. Of course, that's not a reason to not act on the problems you indicated, but hey I want to give people a broader overview of what's happening.
