I agree. We started the move away from "what's wrong with this
branch?" at the January Thunderdome and this seems like a good next
step (I think it's been mooted before, come to that).

This is a fair point - I'm largely in the same boat as far as
lazr.restful is concerned.

To mitigate this, we should probably have a list of experts for each
sub-project. It's then the patch pilot's job to find an expert who has
the time to take a given domain-specific branch (this could also work
for individual parts of the LP tree, too: I wouldn't dare tackle
piloting Soyuz branch without input from bigjools or wgrant, for
example).
