Precisely my point.

I'm talking about Ian's proposed constitution, not the present arrangement.

Ian's constitution give sole authority to admit new developers to the
Delegate. My proposal opens things up a bit.

What's difficult about it? The "Delegate" here would be the new-maintainer
people. They vet the applicant, approve him, put him on the developer
list so he can get to work, post a notice on the mailing list, and ten days
later, assuming nobody raises an objection, he becomes a voting member.

Mostly that there is no system.

Note that I wrote a majority of *developers*. It will likely be hard to
get a majority pf developers to even vote on an issue, let alone agree.
