I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. AIUI, UK sites have been asked to
publish this already. How are we supposed to get this right if there
isn't a clear explanation of what is required? If there is, can somebody
provide a link from the gridpp wiki please.
Details of what numbers to put for a nehalem machine with 2 processors,
each with 4 cores, and each core with 2 threads would be useful too.

Indeed. Sysadmin time is a limited resource. We should try to use it
efficiently.
