+Yes. And I'm working on the moonmoon codebase to get a quick hold of

+Trish has the credentials (I don't, and I'm trying to get these too to
+unlock the issue further).

+ - there was a response; albeit certainly not the one expected;
+ - little direction, yes; *
+ - ambiguous C&C, yes;
+
+* globally, there little, if any, direction, regarding our Web
+resources at large; I'm responsible for that. Historically, I happen

+indeed, I'd vet them, as a maintainer; Web team is sleeping, if still
+alive; that's an issue to me too, because although I have pending
+work, so far, it's still a one-man work (such as a coming redesign for
+the home page I started to draft) and it needs more directed
+discussion, and progress with actual code and production, to go
+forward. In short, it sucks for the time being.

+
+It's more that they could have had sooner access to it, yes, and that
+we need to know how to handle credential delegations (the moonmoon
+platform doesn't go for multiple user accounts for now). I'd perfectly
+go with the "better apologize than ask for permission" in that area,
+but that's something that must be acknowledged by everyone, and
+comparimentized, so that some aspects of the official releases (be it
+Mageia, or Web services) are not affected.
