Last time I looked into it, the mango issue about one MC member was not
something that regular AT members (like me) could solve and needed an
admin to look into it.  That's why it was stalled.

I think what would be even more productive would be to have a network of
people that work together as a team and make sure all requests are
handled smoothly.  It used to be like that two years ago when I joined
AT.  There were a few of us and we constantly talked about all
outstanding issues and tracked them.  The some left the team, some
others where frustrated by the web tools (myself included), and new
members joined the team.  Since then though, I get the idea that it's
about half a person that is active in AT at any given point in time.

Anyway, there's not much board talk needed here.  You can simply contact
-infra list or current AT leads and offer your help.
