I agree we do need to do something and it was briefly discussed by the
YP TSC who basically agreed we need to tweak things.

Firstly though, we could do with digging out Ross' original emails and
properly documenting "maintainers" on the wiki. I thought we'd done
that but none of us could find it with a quick search which is bad if
it does exist.

Is anyone willing to summarise the current process on the wiki based on
those emails? (or point at the page if it does exist!)

Cheers,
