Doesn't the fact that nobody has openly volunteered to do so indicate to you
that there just aren't many (any?) such people?

Debian developers are generally all _but_ quiet little sheep. Were there
cause for major disgruntlement, there would be major disgruntlement.
I submit the mailing list and bug tracking system archives as proof.
Let me put it this way: in the eyes of every clueful bystander, Branden's
reputation sinks from the starting value of, say, 100, by 0.1 with every day
the new version release is delayed. (At the same time there can be other
fluctuations in the imaginary reputation value, of course. :) Your
reputation sinks from the starting value of 0, by 10.0 with every clueless
sentence.
