Agreed, with some caveats. The person(s) from the community has to be trustworthy so that they won't neglect the repo or work for their own personal benefit instead of the community's. Also, Nemein is contractually responsible to Nokia for safeguarding the repository. Imagine if they give access to a community person who does something that irreversibly damages it. So they may be concerned about having liability to Nokia for the actions of a community person. This is not a blocker, but it has to be addressed.

If something happened to Reggie, then Nemein would step in to continue operating the forum (although they don't have as much vbulletin expertise). Reggie has been asked about a possible post-Nokia future of the forum and he was not enthusiastic about it. He particularly did not want to give a dollar amount that the community would need to come up with to continue funding the forum (w/ ads or w/o). I assume he wants his contract with Nokia to last as long as possible, and he has no motivation for wanting to see t.m.o. convert from Nokia contract (with presumably good compensation) to a financially uncertain community. It has been discussed that the content of the forum belongs to the community, and can be exported/imported, but hopefully it won't come to that. Current issues aside I would say that Nemein is probably more intrinsically supportive of a self-governing maemo community that keeps maemo alive.
