I agree with the rationale of what you state, but also feel that the
following ought to be carried out as well. I see below that you agree.

I second these nominations. But I think it's best to have a separate
mail proposing our contact nominations and the nominees accepting the
nomination on the list itself (I see how this works fine for all the
projects at apache.org).

Ack. I'm amused by how we as a list are having to focus on the
"control" aspect and justify that there's no need for "control" here.
It's almost as if there's money and funding involved somehow with user
