Sysadm Tasks
I have tried to sum up the netfilter.org system administration maintenance tasks and responsibilities.
Please bid in on tasks and add the ones I have forgotten.

Service: git.netfilter.org
We would like to move the git.netfilter.org to be handled by the kernel.org sysadmins. BUT we still want to keep a git-web view on git.netfilter.org, as the git.kernel.org is too long/big and users cannot find which git tree is netfilter related.
- Responsible: kernel.org
- Backup: Jesper
Service: Apache
There is a lot of vhosts on this webserver, someone needs to check the config and sites for buggy scripts.
Sander has done some cleanups, thus he is currently responsible.
