Do you think the other candidates will be trying to "do this alone"? There are a few reasons to dislike the "DPL team" concept without going it alone; such as the liklihood of formal membership making it difficult for non-members to contribute in the same way members do, or the way that making the team be an issue at election-time tends to politicise it -- if Steve and Andi are working with you, does that mean they're working against me or Joroen? The technical committee has a policy (written into the constitution, no less!) of doing all its deliberations in the open [0], while the DPL team over the past year seems to have operated quite privately, if not secretively. At the very least, with no action required on their part at all, whoever is elected DPL will have the technical committee, dozens of infrastructure maintainers, and hundreds of developers, new maintainers and other contributors ready to offer advice and assistance.
