24 in the past, we made Gentoo e-mail forward rewards a Council issue as
25 the project in general couldnt agree on it, and they (being elected
26 representation to decided project-wide issues) finished it off.

28 in this case, i dont see anyone who doesnt want this to happen, so we
29 can probably delegate it to userrel, have them formulate a plan (seems
30 like we've got all the pieces already), and then just post the result
31 here for all to review.
