I strongly recommend not distributing the login info for any official TASVideos account beyond the admins and moderators. There's way too much potential for mistakes or deliberate abuse otherwise, and it sounds like you can work with each person just making their own account anyway.

Requirements: decent upload speed
Which is exactly why I've had a hard time getting uploads in (Barring the fact that most of the torrents are dead anyway >.>". Anyway, lets just say that Australian internet BLOWS, 384 kilobits a second), so much so I've been losing motivation (Though in the making of this post, I've magically gained some motivation xD). But yeah, we could use some more people that aren't going to blow up the account. WE NEED SEEDS FOR TORRENTS! THIS PROJECT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR SEEDS!

This is still in the experimental stages. So far I have only uploaded AVI files. I have yet to try to upload a new MKV that takes advantage of brframes & deldup (this causes youtube to freak out).
In general, wouldn't it be better for the encoder/publisher to upload a lossless or minimally lossy encode to the streaming site, instead of the final, hyper-optimized MKV product? Since the other site is going to do its own processing anyway, this may result in marginally better quality, and avoids the risk of choking on complicated features like brframes & deldup.

That would require either two seperate encodes, increasing the publisher's work, or alot of upstream bandwidth, which isn't always available. Still, I might consider it.
