I think this can be facilitated, but on my end it'll be a project by
project kind of deal. Some teams already do quite well, Xubuntu
springs to mind, we have all kinds of contributors and share
administrative burden. I think this is valuable with teams like
Documentation where we are a bit lean on community types to do this
kind of stuff (though I will mention now, your work in this role to
make sure we have meetings and bring people together has been
wonderful! I'm very glad you're sticking around, we need more of you
:)).
