OK. That's agreed then.

That much is easy to fix. I'll followup in a separate mail with my plan.

I'm not going to impose that on anybody that doesn't want it.

But I will be happy to be a gatekeeper for any changes for people that
do.

So, Chris, please feel free to nominate things for me to merge into
master.

Everyone else---the master branch isn't "closed", but it's definitely in
a state of being stabilized for release. So, only push changes where you
are very confident that the changes only increase stability. If you're
unsure, ask on the list.

And I'll reserve the right to revert anything necessary.

Sound good to everyone?
