Getting a team is an excellent idea. Jakub is one of those folks that 
turn a boring yet essential activity into a craft (with the best 
possible meaning of the word "craft").

We all know which devs/herds bugs should be assigned to, we all know 
most bugs aren't complete if emerge --info is not provided, that sort of 
things. But Real Bug Masters (tm) know all the dupes, know all the 
current problems in our various trees and arches, and act as bug-spam 
filters for the herds.

So while we can and do *survive* without Jakub, his role is invaluable 
and having a proper team can only help us in the long term.

FWIW, Jakub never had CVS commit access, and specifically refused it. 
He's only ever worked with Bugzilla and IRC (to ping, poke or harass 
devs :) )
