Funny: that would be pretty much my worst case scenario since Richard
is primarily a manager of people (his intermittent access does not
make much more possible, anyway), and pulling on anyone is going to
detract "anyone" from ongoing work on the trunk. The admirable
ability to unceremoniously come through with the technical changes
once the direction is clear, is what made me propose Chong: he made
quite a lot of progress even in a zigzag course dictated by changing
opinions and policies. If he is going to set the policies himself, he
will save himself a few dead ends.

Well, Handa is already the technical lead of unicode-2 and somewhat
biased. It is clear anyway that he'll be needed to iron out quite a
number of pains in connection with unicode-2, and I would not find it
amiss if there was a somewhat less "partial" person involved with
judging the severity of changes in the API to the general developer
public. Chong does not make the impression to me of being scared of
complexity. But I am, and I would like somebody who is conservative
(though not in a destructive way) to counterbalance the unicode-2
leadership.

Probably too early to think about that.

What I wrote above for Emacs 23.1 with regard to Handa would apply for
24.1 and Eli similarly. While it is clear that those are
indispensable for the work in question, I'd prefer having a
counterweight in the project leadership. This would also make it
possible for them to argue their case without having to be impartial
about it: it would be the job of the respective version leader to
weigh their needs against those of others.
