Hmmm. You're right, the layer of indirection makes it unclear whether
the responsibility for resolving a Moot sticks with the Person or Office.
Agoran decisions handle this explicitly, and we don't have any
other "long procedural" steps right now where it's an issue.

I *do* want moots to be generalizable to other issues (e.g. elections).
But some fix that says "the responsibility moves with the Office" works
pretty well I think.
