I wasn't replying directly to you, Bertrand, I was replying in general.

That said, and I don't want to take this down a long never ending thread,
why separate the "power"? That seems like an artificial line to me and
quite honestly I wouldn't work on a project where you trust me to
develop/evolve the code, but don't trust me to release it or judge/elect
new folks to help maintain it.

If you want to elect someone early, elect them as both, early :)

Cheers,
Chris
