The agreed-upon schedule needs to be changed, because
Anthony Towns is not project leader, and general rule 2.1.2
says he can't be both leader and committee chairman.

Ok, my vote, based on the original schedule, with the idea that
fall backs should be the next available person from that schedule
is:
2 Bdale Garbee
4 Raul Miller
5 Andreas Barth
6 Ian Jackson
7 Steve Langasek
I'll also say that I do not think you are being negligent for
serving too long.

I very much agree. And, as Anthony's extra duties have also
had their impact on the schedule, I think we should informally
agree that these short terms will be two months long.
If you and Bdale can agree that you should serve another month,
I'll be happy to change my vote, above, changing my preference
for you from 7 to 1.

I appreciate your humble approach on this issue, but I do not
want to agree with you that you failed to step down properly.
But I will agree that you did good getting the ndiswrapper
issue wrapped up.
