I do not believe it is a good idea to expand duties of OTRS beyond those
required by law. I do not believe OTRS is currently required by law to
manage assertions of model age and release.  I do not believe OTRS could
scale to assume such duties. I do believe that attempting to get the
Foundation to impose top-down intervention in this case when you can't
persuade the community itself of your concerns about explicit media is a bad
thing.
