A community also includes the users. In this case, we were talking
about the commit ACL for a project where there's been lots of
promises of action and very little action. In order for Heraldry to
continue there needs to be enough of the code committers who want to
continue, and 3 or 4 is a little small in my eyes. I really do not
want to be back in this situation again in a few months.

I know that I personally would be happy to have someone doing docs /
website work. But lack of docs isn't Heraldry's first order problem
at the moment.

Let's hope we can actually get a functioning PPMC this time around.
