How about keeping Florian in the loop too, since he was the one who
volunteered to do it at first, unless I misunderstood? I like the
idea of having more than one person sharing the burden of making this
kind of decision, because then we reduce the risk of personal
preferences or prejudices affecting the end result. If we go with two
people in this role, they'll presumably strive for consensus and, if
they can't reach it, they might bring the issue up to RMS.
