Bring Matthias on r-t?

["Elijah Newren" <newren gmail com>]

Okay, I mentioned this earlier[1], but with Jeff giving two
possibilities of either inviting Matthias to join the release team or
delegating release-checking tools[2] to him, I wasn't sure which made
more sense.  I think inviting him on makes more sense now.  Anyone
object to me inviting him to join the release team?
