What are responsibilities and qualifications of the official admin?

Agreed.  That's why I suggested that we set up a set up a
"staging/development site".  The changes to elpa.git/html will only be
deployed to the staging/development site regularly, and if we decided to
release a new version of elpa.gnu.org website, then the official admin
deploys it to /var/www.  Just like a master branch and a release branch.

I don't know how to set up a staging site under gnu.org, but (if you
agree) I can help set up one on GitHub or on my own server.
