        If no one else steps forward, I'd be willing to act as an
unthinking keeper of development source, automatically applying
patches that people send me.  I wouldn't be able to sanity-check
patches very much, though.

        That said, perhaps we could have no one running the show at
all.  The FreeBSD developers maintain their source code in a CVS tree,
which acts as a central repository for the code.  There's no one
person who oversees everything; rather, there's a list of trusted
developers who are granted write access to the repository and can
check in patches.  A random person who wants to submit a patch must
convince a developer that the patch is worthwhile.  See
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook5.html for the details.

        So, maybe we should do that; have a CVS tree somewhere, and
keep a short list of people who are considered clueful enough to make
changes.  lynx-dev would be used for discussions and patches, as it is
now.  Thoughts?
