Yes, absolutely.  It would be good to have one maintainer who actually 
lives on the GNU runtime day-to-day, and then another who has exposure 
to the Darwin side of things (esp. differences between the GNU and NeXT 
runtimes).  So, if Nicola agrees to run for office :-), I'm definitely 
for nominating both him and Andrew.
