+The Developer role is the Melange super-admin, who:
+  * manages the application deployment
+  * must create the [PersonGroups#Sponsor Sponsor] and [UserRoles#Host Host]
+
+This is not currently modeled in the [UserModel User Model] (but may be, as a
+new Property, in the future), but is instead managed via the
+[http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/users/adminusers.html Google AppEngine function]
+`users.is_current_user_admin()`.
+This solves the "chicken-and-egg" problem about how any "super-user" entities
+in the Melange application get created if there are no existing such entities.
