Yes, coordination is large part of the work, but not only as shown by
previous experiences (e.g., [1,2,3,4] and older others).

Definitively!  Count on me to candidate on such team. :-)

From my point of view, this team will be a rotating effort.  For
instance, from 2 to 4 people will be part.  The duty is to be part for 2
releases; 1-2 person step downs for welcoming 1-2 new person after each
release.  Well, something similar to NixOS release management.

As usual, the question is about the bootstrap. ;-)
