Well, I imagine we need Dries to approve the choices too.  :)

So here is an interesting question.  What modules/realms are left that
fall under the category
THE REST:
M: Dries <dries at drupal.org>

We have
aggregator
block
book (tho a volunteer has stepped up :)
color
comment
forum
etc....

So, those lurking on the list.  Without involvement the same number of
people will continue maintaining a more complex core eco-system that
some peoples businesses rely on.  Money helps some things, but skilled
developer time is invaluable.
