When trawling through the main repository I noticed there are spots

Do we have an up-to-date list of the reserved system user and group IDs?
Those packaging server software need to be able to find this document
easily so we don't run into UID conflicts. I searched the wiki and
browsed the main site but could not find it. I recall we had some sort
of document for this.
This is something we do indeed sorely need. We do not have one yet.
After the formalisation of projects, this should probably be a top priority.
One open question: should this list be maintained by the Platform Group,
i.e. the core devs? Or should it be open to all committers?
Best,
