Description
Having run Asterisk on Linux in the past, it is considered a security best practice to not run services under the root account. Unless there is a specific reason that the startup and post-configuration portions of this port are configured that way, I think it'd be wise to at least make it an option (variant?) to create a service account to own all the configuration files, data, and the running process.
I'd be willing to make the effort and submit the change, but it'd be my first contribution to this community, so I'd probably need someone to "check my work".

Ah. Thought the system did that automatically when you fill out the port name.

That would be nice, but nobody wrote the Trac plugin yet...
