New email works great!

... now, how do I manage the RCs?

So, my @postgresql.org mail is working now -- a very painless
transition.  Great work, guys!

However, we have a couple dozen Regional Contacts each with an email
account.  I need to do a fair amount of resetting passwords, and adding
new accounts this year.  What's the best way to do that?  Do I send
requests to the WWW team (via Redmine?  some other way?), or do I get
rights to admin mail myself?

I actually tried to ping you on IM or IRC about that one, but you
didn't respond :P I'll try again :)

Per request, here's what I need to be able to do:

1. Create new RC accounts (these are always countrycode@postgresql.org)

2. Change passwords on RC accounts.

3. Delete RC accounts.

That's it.  These are things I need to be able to do as admin; the RCs
don't need to be able to.  I'd like Selena to eventually have
permissions as well, if possible.

We did discuss setting up a separate @contact.postgresql.org mail
domain.  That would be completely acceptable if it's the easier course.

If we can't set up a way for me to do this, be aware that I'll be
dumping a long list of requests, especially for password changes, on the
sysadmin staff in preparation for the release.
