   This strikes me as one of those jobs where the people who would want 
it might include some of the people you would least want to give it to.

   The general high level of the conversations and professional 
responsibility on the boost developer list is a credit to the group. 
However, even here there have been cases of someone claiming to be 
reasonable and objective while actually being neither.

   There are people in this group I would trust to make the final calls 
on their own library, but not everyone is capable of that. I really 
don't want to have to make that choice, and I'm betting the moderators 
don't, either.
