I am open for suggestions, but considering how much work this GCD has
already been (and I feel like we're nowhere, yet) I doubt I could lead
such an enlargement of this task.  I could see slimmen this GCD if
necessary.

This only tries to put in words how we're currently handling stuff.  I
may be mistaken but at least it is how I did it in my/our teams.

Please help me figure out what does not work.  Vague statements like
this one are unfortunately no indication to me what is supposed to
change or how it would be perceived more accurately.

This may be a misunderstanding.  The GCD's phrasing of the "committers"
as a special team is only to centralize where teams are defined (in
etc/teams.scm).  GCD 007 does not change how commit access is granted.

What are your concerns in this regard?

Same here.  What are your concerns?

So far acting maintainers chose new ones to join the collective.  This
seems somewhat odd in a kind-of-big community like ours that strives for
consensus.


Looking forward for your clarifications
