I see two major financial components here that are not included in your
list above: managing the budget overall, and soliciting and
communicating with sponsors. This could either be one two-person Finance
coordinator subteam or a Budget coordinator and a Sponsorships
coordinator. (The difference only matters for purposes of majority vote,
which will hopefully be superceded with consensus in most situations.)

I'm willing to volunteer to work on the overall budget management
component, plus coordination with SPI (and optionally PostgreSQL). I
have experience dealing with Andreas and the DC5 and DC6 budgets and
sponsors from my role as SPI Treasurer. I can also help Neil out with
the website and any localteam issues suitable for non-UK people, though
that should be comparatively more minor. This can be discussed further
at Friday's meeting, and regardless I'll certainly talk more about it
with Neil.
