That's two teams instead of one (which is perfectly capable of doing
these core duties as it is). I also fail to see what makes your
proposed system more open than the current one. Conflict resolution
will never be public, especially when it involves users. freenode
stuff just isn't very interesting to the team anyway, unless there are
policy changes on their side, which need to be communicated.
