This is *not* a community run service. As far as I can tell, everyone that has access to the servers is paid directly or indirectly (as consultants or via other companies) by Nokia. The "community" has no access to the servers themselves, nor even the most basic information about them. The community has no access to logs, how many hits, or anything whatsoever. In fact, who is in charge of what is very vague as well--it could perhaps be pieced together through tidbits left here and there, but it certainly isn't clear.

If it were a community run service, we'd be able to get in there and get some things done. Instead we have to wait for the crumbs that Nokia throws us. Compare this to Debian, which is a *real* community run distro. Or even to Fedora, which is corporate sponsored, but has huge community involvement.

Think Nokia will do something like that? We'll just get one way blog posts from Ari Jaaksi or something talking about how great things are.
