He already works on D full-time, this would only slow him down. The other  
option is to open the repos to even more people with master push rights,  
and it was a months-long struggle to convince him to let Kenji, Brad, and  
Don push. Imagine the effort it will take to convince him to let someone  
else in with push rights?

This is a step in the process. Should it prove successful we can reopen  
the organizational discussion, but first, let's just make it work.
