We can't be much more specific because we haven't defined any roles.
Essentially, we're all working collaboratively to lead the group, and
are on a massive recruitment drive from within the dev ranks.  If you
want a point of contact, you can contact me.  I'm sure we'll fragment
off a bit into more specialized roles as we figure out what is going on
a bit better.  Basically, none of us have the time to dedicate solely to
running the x86 team, as we all have other projects which already takes
up a lot of our time.  There is no "head" per se, but as I said, you can
contact me if you need anything.  We pretty much feel that the arch team
doesn't need a "lead" so much, as there isn't really a "direction" to go
in, as an arch team is all QA/security/stabilization/releng.  There's
not much "strategic" about adding a keyword to packages and doing
testing.  The goal for us right now is to bring in some AT and pull in a
lot more developers as full arch devs, so we can fully meet the
expectations of an arch team.
