The future of packages.ubuntu.com regarding hosting

[Frank Lichtenheld]

Hi.

[Sorry if this isn't the right forum to bring this issue up, I honestly
 don't know which is, so feel free to redirect me.]

packages.ubuntu.com is (and always was) hosted personally by me,
since I started the service on my own and never asked for hosting.
But its usage continues to grow and my server just isn't enough for it
anymore, especially since the machine is heavily used for other stuff
as well.

So I think it is time to move it to a stronger machine, one not owned
personally by me, preferrably one that belongs to Ubuntu or Canonical.

Minimum system requirements for a dedicated machine would be a current
Dual Core CPU with about 2GB of RAM. It currently runs on such a server
(but which has other uses as well, as mentioned), and that works okayish except
for release days as could be observed at the end of last week. More Cores
and more RAM don't actually hurt, of course ;)

Comments, suggestions and proposals welcome.

Gruesse,
