The GDP would really like to extend the current system administration
documentation with more expert-like guides/redbooks/technical docs. It isn't
that easy to find volunteers though and because these documents are probably
very specific (apart from the Gentoo Security Guide which is also definitely
a must-read for administrators) most GDP members can't validate/accept bug
reports.

In other words, we do need someone to fall back to when we can't resolve a
bugreport ourselves. Think of it as if the GDP is first/second line and the
maintainer of the document is third line support.
