I'd happy to volunteer...  I'd be happy to have others do so as well, 
I'd be happy to have a couple of people listed...

My position isn't that of Tom Lord, :-)  but, what they are in a 
position to do is to find someone that will volunteer to be the 
maintainer for compilation speed for C++.  Part of that is to ensure 
that the compiler doesn't regress, part of that is to encourage others 
to consider compilation speed issues before it regresses, and the 
largest part would be rolling up the sleeves and doing the work.  By 
appoint, I merely meant bless to be the listed maintainer for such an 
issue.  I think we need more than just a few random people donating a 
few random patches to be able to approach a 4x speedup.

Let us know if such a position is to be created at this time, and who's 
on the hook for it...
