I dont think adding an other detour to Yet Another Team is adding
any value at all. people *do* look at the problematic packages in
NEW and work on the issues involved. why would the technical
committee be any better then those people?
Those stalled packages pose serious non-technical problems. I
suggest to NOT form the "non-technical committee" but let the
ftp-master team try to solve the problem and trust them to call
for help if they need it ... or at least give them more time
untill you start restructuring.
