Now, I don't know who you are, so I can't really add you myself 
comfortably (without, e.g. a CC to a PMC). However, anyone else who is 
already on the list can add you by editing 
wiki.apache.org/general/LeoSimons/AdminGroup. Once your name is on that 
page, you too will be able to add people.

I guess this is a fair enough approach. Self organising community. Hmm.
