Sounds like a plan.

Yes, I agree. Judging from people whom have be active in the
observability community, and/or actively putting back to non-DTrace,
non-MDB tools, I would suggest the following breakdown:
Core Contributors
Alexander Kolbasov
Eric Schrock
Peter Tribble
Contributors
Russell Blaine
Bryan Cantrill
Tom Erickson
Brendan Gregg
Adam Leventhal
Chad Mynhier
Dan Price
Mike Shapiro
Bart Smaalders
Since all these folks have core contributor grants elsewhere, I don't
think we need to go crazy with core contributor grants for the sake of
voting rights. That being said, many of the above folks have been much
more involved in the observability tools in the past, and are just
currently doing other projects.

That would be great.
