I have sent an email to Tuomas, but gotten no reply so far, and I hadn't
considered Jussi since he has some entries in the contest. Karoliina
certainly has qualifications... I am afraid I don't know Roope.

Indeed, I've been thinking about this. I guess I need to brainstorm a
bit more (perhaps on the IRC channel?) to get some names.

Thank you for the feedback in any case! And sorry for not getting back
all week... conference attendance meant almost no email time & an almost
infinite email backlog.

Cheers,
Dave.
