We chatted some on IRC, but I wanted to bring this back to the list so
everyone can weigh in and we can put together some idea of what they
would be responsible for.

I'd say they should make sure:

 - meetings happen
 - team goals are met (freezes, etc)
 - goals are set and met (or adjusted)
 - work needed is communicated to participants (mailing list, blog posts)

They don't need to *do* any of these things, unless they want to, just
to keep track make sure they all happen.

"Delegate" is my favorite word :)

A lot of people seem to like Trello, so I'd say it's worth a try.
