It auth against FAS.  First, anyone with a FAS account can log in, and
post comments and whatnot.  Second, if the user happens to own a
package that provides a given application, she can edit the app's
description, and do things like delete comments and screenshots.
Third, if a user is a member of the 'amber_admins' group, he can do the
above for all apps, and a few other things.
