So how do we explicitly get that consensus? Do we need a concrete proposal to "vote" or otherwise express opinion on?

Doesn't look that difficult to do. There's an example post-receive-email script in the git contrib area that could be used as a template, and launchpad has an easy-to-use Python API.

I think we should get the consensus first. If that doesn't happen, we don't need a volunteer.
