Daniel has been doing legwork for us here, collecting suggestions and
talking to the nominees, and has 3 confirmed applicants:

  - Bhavani Shankar <bhavi at ubuntu.com>
  - Luke Faraone <luke at faraone.cc>
  - Jonathan Carter <jonathan at ubuntu.com>

We'll get more information on them as they fill out their application
wiki pages. He also has one more possible nominee, I'll wait to pass
along the name until he confirms.

The original plan for the ARB said 5-7 members, so we'd be looking to
fill 3 places. But, yes, we may have to consider increasing the size to
cover the current workload. We can also find help with packaging and
review from others who aren't voting members.
