Mmm, hyperbole. Right now, the initial set up of a package needs
done by the admin; currently this is adding an entry to the owners.list/
making the directory in CVS. In future it might be 'adding the entry
to the package database and setting it up in the build system'. The step
will still be needed, even though parts of it may change.

Heck, I'd love to get it where the CVS branching stuff isn't a
separate step. But that takes time and infrastructure, and there
seems to be a dearth of people who want to touch the CVS stuff.

owner in acl == anyone in acl can remove all the other owners.
