Personally, I don't know where the fixed size of the DMB came from;
there's nothing magic about 7 people. I suppose the TB controls this
currently though, so the DMB would either need to write up a full
charter that includes control over the membership size, or ask the TB
to adjust the size.

I don't see any particular reason to fix the size at 7, and I'd quite
like it if the team grew in size.
