Yeah, I think it's good to rotate the committee - there's a lot of
people out there that don't necessarily write code, and this is the
perfect opportunity for people to contribute to the GNOME project. I'd
like to think that people are also pulling their weight, because that
also makes for a much easier ride. A lot of the membership committee
work is pretty repetitive and you guys don't get a huge amount of credit
for it...but the work that you're doing has been awesome [1], so 'thank
you'.
