Quite so.

Indeed.

I would like to draft a version of Anthony's answer that makes it a
recommendation rather than a mandatory decision.  In fact, we probably
need four versions:

 * We think it's our decision and we decide (insisting iff 3:1)
   that it should go into main
 * We think it's our decision and we decide (insisting iff 3:1)
   that it should go into contrib
 * We think it's not our decision formally but we conclude
   that it should go into main
 * We think it's not our decision formally but we conclude
   that it should go into contrib

It will be easier to draft those four alternatives than to have
everyone write round and say which ones they prefer.

Ian.
