The special tasks of Policy delegates are:

* Commit access to the Git repository and uploads of the debian-policy
  package itself, which makes them responsible for debian-policy as a
  package in Debian and for making final decisions about when a new
  version is released and what bits go into it.

* Rejecting proposals.  Anyone can argue against a proposal, but the way
  I'd been thinking of it, only Policy delegates can formally reject it.

* Counting seconds and weighing objections to proposals to determine
  whether the proposal has sufficient support to be included.

Everything else can be done by anyone / any DD (depending on the outcome
of the discussion about seconding).  We explicitly want any Debian DD to
review and second or object to proposals.  The more participation, the
better.
