Fair enough.

We should also be asking ourselves what happens if something goes
really wrong and there are no commits for a whole two days.  I think
the answer is, not much.  As long as there are a few devs who can tend
to security issues or whatever I don't see it as an issue if we have
the odd glitch.

We do need to get the docs up so that we're at least somewhat
harmonized on conventions (authors vs committers, and so on).  Let's
not burn the first person to make a mistake at the stake either...
