I think a simpler idea is a minimal webapp (and perhaps a CLI interface)
that lets you login with your FAS account and request an override on a
built package that you have permissions for (and at the same time,
choose how long the override lasts from a list of predefined lengths),
and let a backend process handle the enable/disable.
