A couple of people have asked me off-list if there are specific qualifications 
that we are looking for in nominees. My personal list is pretty short:
* Cares about Toolforge as a platform and a community.
* Legally able and willing to sign the volunteer NDA.
* Can put 1-2 hours a month into helping.

The most basic duties of the committee are enforcing the Right to fork[1] and 
Abandoned tools[2] policies. These duties should not typically take a lot of 
time. There have historically been only a few open requests at any given time.

I support the committee deciding on additional projects to improve the platform 
with technology or social programs. Social programs like promoting 
co-maintainers and public source code for all tools are maybe the most 
under-served thing today in my opinion.
