Indeed. In reality I have no objection to naming someone an admin just in case. But it would require more than just mastodon admin access, which in and of itself cant really do or effect much. In fact a mastodon admin couldnt even backup and migrate the site to another server, they can just pretty much upload emojis and change a few settings.
What we would need is someone who would have access to our server infrastructure. Right now I do have some people who i pay who have that access in case of emergencies but they arent really part of the community here.
That said if we picked a member of the community to have server access in case something happens to me they would have to know how to administer linux, docker, docker-swarm, and a few other techs we use. They would also need to be trust worthy of course.
I believe @arteteco offered to fill that role once, and he has been around since the inception of the server, so I would trust him in that capacity. I guess it depends on if he would want that responsibility and if he feels he has the technical knowledge to carry it out.
