Niclas, thanks for the support it is much appreciated. I will put you down
as as 'willing' on Mentor and Champion.

I understand the "at office" concern, it is a mode of operation and we (the
committers) all understand the importance of public communication and
consensus.

I am a bit confused though about the "too good" concern, I do not think I
understand what you mean. Could you elaborate?
