As I have seen so far, all these things get sorted out as people pick up things that they are interested in, but, in order to move we need builds/releases and we need them often. Without build, changes go to trunk and stay there for a long time (sometimes, years) without getting released, and either the people working on them lose interest, or the discussions get stale. In short: we need people to roll releases often.
