Ouch. I get your point, believe me, and agree to some extent. But some
amount of distrust and paranoia is vital for any Internet connected
service, as well as for a project like RPM Fusion to be taken seriously
by people who are going to be using it.

With the other extreme of giving admin access to too many people, the
infrastructure could be in an even worst shape. It's the optimal
intermediate point that needs to be reached in my opinion.

Again, I understand your frustration, currently have the will to try
and fix things, and am open to suggestions and discussion...
