I don't see how more people would either "dilute responsibility" nor destabilize the team. For example, consider the people who hold comaint on the Moose namespace:
https://metacpan.org/author/DOY https://metacpan.org/author/DROLSKY https://metacpan.org/author/ETHER https://metacpan.org/author/FLORA https://metacpan.org/author/GRODITI https://metacpan.org/author/HDP https://metacpan.org/author/MSTROUT https://metacpan.org/author/PERIGRIN https://metacpan.org/author/SARTAK https://metacpan.org/author/STEVAN or Catalyst: https://metacpan.org/author/AGRUNDMA https://metacpan.org/author/APEIRON https://metacpan.org/author/ARCANEZ https://metacpan.org/author/BOBTFISH https://metacpan.org/author/BRICAS https://metacpan.org/author/DGL https://metacpan.org/author/EDENC https://metacpan.org/author/ELLIOTT https://metacpan.org/author/ETHER https://metacpan.org/author/FLORA https://metacpan.org/author/FREW https://metacpan.org/author/HAARG https://metacpan.org/author/ILMARI https://metacpan.org/author/JJNAPIORK https://metacpan.org/author/JROCKWAY https://metacpan.org/author/MITHALDU https://metacpan.org/author/MRAMBERG https://metacpan.org/author/MSTROUT https://metacpan.org/author/PHAYLON https://metacpan.org/author/RIBASUSHI https://metacpan.org/author/SSCAFFIDI https://metacpan.org/author/VANSTYN https://metacpan.org/author/WSHELDAHL Both of these projects have some authors who contribute frequently, and some less frequently, but in both cases it is reassuring to know that there are additional people waiting in the wings to step in should a crisis occur (either of the "she's off her meds" sort or "she was hit by a bus" sort). Further, I would point out that Matt is comaint of both of these projects, and has **added to** the stability of them through his presence and advice, not detracted from it. Besides, Matt has held comaint on DBIx::Class itself all this time and has not meddled with the direction set by its BDFL for years; why would this be expected to change if the leadership changed? I am baffled at how such a thing would be presumed. On Thu, Oct 13, 2016 at 1:42 PM, Peter Rabbitson <rabbit+d...@rabbit.us> wrote: > It was suggested elsewhere I am against any "core team" plan.
