Articles submitted by non-admins remain in unpublished state unless 
someone with publishing rights (e.g. moderator or admin) approves.

It wasn't enabled for registered users. I have activated it.

Users can cancel their own account through My Account -> Edit -> Cancel 
Account

For uploads to submission forms, like the poster submission forms 
contact admins. For attachments etc.:

My Account -> File Browser (tab)

Admins and Moderators. Current list include: Debamitro, Priyanka, 
Satabdi, Tarashish, Mani and me.

Regarding f, there is a "moderator" role as well, which can be given to 
volunteers for permissions with adding/editing/deleting content only. 
They will not be able to perform other administrative activities.
