For these calculations, please CC the various people privately - for all
we know, various trolls may be reading this list, and making their plan
of attack.  The more knowledge they have, the more they can plan their
attack - especially when they have a lot more time to think about how to
cause trouble.

The same logic of removing idlers from #ubuntu-ops applies here.
