Technically yes, and there should be a bug for it already; if there
isn't, one needs to be made per our operational improvements policy.
As to whom should be able to do that, thats an interesting and
separate question :)

It would be nice, I think, to let LP be more of a self service site
like slashdot / stack exchange in this respect - going beyond simple
admins + chr, and into the territory of voting up/down sort of thing.
There are definitely bugs about this already.

But we shouldn't wait for the ultimate to make things easier either ;)
