Okay, so here are some details: The gccadmin account has been generated
is already being used for snapshots etc (IIRC). It can be accessed by
various SC members (Mark Mitchell,...), root folks on gcc.gnu.org (Tom
Tromey, Chris Faylor, myself), plus you (sic!).

I can guarantee that all of us are aware of the fact that the current
situation is not ideal which is cuased, as usually, by lack of time. :-(

*Any* help with that, the snapshots scripts, etc. is certainly most
welcome.

(The snapshots scripts are not yet in gccadmin, by the way; unifying
snapshot and release scripts, updating gcc/contrib,... would be great!)
