along with infrastructure, you need a release engineer.  Somebody who's
going to babysit the collections, do buildroot overrides to build chains
of packages, do package signing, urge (a) bodhi into pushing the
updates, making sure they get rsynced properly, dealing with bug reports
about broken deps, so on and so forth.  I say this, because I'm not
about to volunteer to do that work for you.  I say this also, because
trying to bring somebody in to do these things on the "LTS" section, but
isolate that person from the normal section is going to be difficult, if
we have to go that route.
