Why not start by being a "mirror coordinator", or similar. You could
be the person people go to for (using your example) things like DNS
changes - even if you have to pass the request on to a third party to
action. In time, more responsibility and power would come? Assuming
you're not actually Bill Gates in disguise ;)

It'd be good to have a single point-of-contact for mirror issues, and
someone who'd be responsible for decision making. In the long run it
could make release time a breeze ;)

Tim.
