Neat! Where do I sign up?
This is exactly what I would like it to be: facilitation rather than
regulation. Being there, actively helping out people. For cocoondev.org,
we had the idea to have one 'PMC-style' guy specifically appointed to
each project to explicitely shepherd a project at important moments.
While I understand this 'put the responsibility where it belongs' thing,
hence topleveling, I think we should help out projects who don't feel
quite ready to take up that responsibility. There is still a need for an
XML PMC IMO.
