In the "historic" germanophone community we have roles called "Ansprechpartner". That means a person, to whom topics can be addressed. We have "Ansprechpartner" (contact persons) for marketing, QA; Mac-port, website, translation etc.. So it was clear, that these persons had adopted a special responsbility, but there was no special power given to them. I think, it might be a first step, if some of the PMC members would tell, for what topic they can be a contact person. Maybe we can add this in the list of the PMC members on the website, improving transparency, like we do it for mailinglists, blog, svn, bugzilla, wiki and social media. Kind regards Michael
