The Fedora Magazine has the same issue. Usually the CommBlog "follows"
whatever the Magazine does for its infrastructure since they are more or
less the same base configurations.

I prefer Option #1. I have a strong preference that infrastructure
components of the CommBlog are managed by a *paid* team whose
responsibilities include maintaining these sites. At least on the
CommBlog end, the responsibility separation between the community and
infrastructure was not defined and caused hiccups like deploying theme
updates to fix bugs taking a couple years and also how to manage
backups. I am not aware of a backup plan for the CommBlog but I might
not have looked closely enough.

I see this change enabling editors to spend less time being volunteer
sysadmins and more time focusing on the content being published.
