This isn't related to your problem, but I am interested in support for
bands and albums in mediagoblin.  Do you have any plans to submit
patches upstream?  I can't imagine that I'm the only one that would
want such a feature.

I can't do any work for you, but perhaps I can help you help yourself.
 Do you have a preference for which web server you want to use to host
your mediagoblin instance?  I personally use Apache + fcgid, but the
wiki gives pretty much ready-to-go instructions to quickly get a
production instance running with Nginx + FastCGI.  See:
http://mediagoblin.readthedocs.org/en/v0.6.1/siteadmin/deploying.html#fastcgi-and-nginx

Do you use Debian?  Well here's some init scripts to make
starting/stopping mediagoblin and celery really easy:

Good luck!
