I may add security also as a personal interest. After all, I'm supposed 
to work as a security engineer here :) I'm dreaming of running sympa 
daemons and web interface under taint mode, for instance, but given the 
current code base, I'd rather make it a priority.

I feel deeply honoured, but that's a bit too much responsability for me.

First, I can be as wrong as everyone else, but as any other 'expert', 
I'm far most dangereous when I am :) Second, my official current time 
allocation on the project (which has to be rediscuted soon...) doesn't 
offer enough availabilty ensurance for this role.

I'd prefer than whatever the topic is (code refactoring, new feature 
addition, etc...) the final decision belongs to David. This would allows 
to weighs purely technical concerns with other concerns than we isolated 
developers often ignore. And as he just reminded us, he's the guy in 
charge of the project, after all :)

For everything else, I perfectly agree with David's proposal, and I also 
concur than I don't intend to be the only one actually working during 
half of the development cycle. I expect others to continue to commit 
change directly, if needed, and to review my changes also. Which reminds 
me the sympa-commits mailing-list seems to be down for almost 2 weeks now...
