+1.

Important point.  Will we designate people that jump in when a person
isn't available, or will we just let it sort out somehow (this actually
has worked nicely overall in the past).

It depends on the amount of work.  With the current prospects on the
way Parted will go, I have enough time for both resuming to contribute
code (if Anant or somebody else fills in the infrastructure position),
serving as representative for the project and patch review.

  I'd also like us to define whether the infrastructure person will also
merge patches if they have been found to be good in peer review.

+1.

Very good.  I have nothing to add to this.

Yes.  As much org as needed, as much flexibility as possible.
