Definitely.
I've got fixed packages available right now for some of the
bugs which have been raised in this thread, but until somebody
can push out the advisories they're just sat around gathering dust.

That's probably true, and kinda an argument against suddenly adding
more members too ...

I admit the role of the position is also a mystery to me, but one
that I've not worried too much about.
Reviewing patches and building fixed packages is what I've tried
to do - whether that is the intended job of a secretary is largely
irrelevent.
Other jobs like answering mails from people who say "Help my
server is hacked" seem more "secreatrial" in nature, so I've tried
to answer those as time and details permit.
