I think that is a great idea. Keep in mind that we still have 10
project stewards who are responsible to the GNU project for glibc.
So the responsibility has not gone away, we just handle business
differently. The 10 stewards don't talk on a private mailing list
we talk out in the open on libc-alpha.
