Sounds good to me.

I also agree that we need a process for removing core developers. The
idea being that core developers that do not have time to actually review
the proposed branches should just be simple "developers". Being a core
dev is more duties than rights, so people should step down considerately
by themselves. But if they don't, it is tricky to define a process that
fixes it...
