I plan to go offline for the latter half of this month (I may
sporadically pop up but may not be engaging deeply in the
discussions or picking up patches).

This time, can we try a fire drill that I do not nominate or ask
anybody to be an interim maintainer and see how well community
manages the discussion and patch flow during these two weeks?

It can be somebody stepping up and say "ok, I'll self nominate and
run the project as the interim maintainer, just like it was done in
the past years", or "let's do something differently, how about
everybody throws a merge request to this mob repository, use this
(possibly different) review procedure, and give back the tip of
'master' when Junio returns", or "OK, we'll discuss and exchange
patches for these two weeks among ourselves and we can cope without
a central meeting place".

IOW, I am interested to see if the community comes up with a
day-to-day project structure that may be better for the contributors
than what I have dictated in the past during my vacation time.

Thanks.

Interesting. If list participants would prefer to use the same structure
as when you're not on vacation, I'm happy to shuffle the patches and
send regular "What's cooking" reports for those couple of weeks.

I guess that amounts to the "I'll self nominate and run the project as
interim maintainer" option you mentioned above :-).

Thanks,
Taylor
