Nowadays, it's less of an issue - Michael is focusing on other things, lots
of work has been done to shift away from Bonobo already, etc.

I would love to see a 'project maintainer' for the Developer Platform suite.
(Well, sure, I'd love to see a project maintainer for all of the suites, as
I think it would help greatly with oversight, but most importantly for the
Developer Platform.)
