Hi Liza

I like the approach. Can I play devil's advocate?

This is a good idea, but do we have enough resources? Reading the 
maintainer's page, I get the impression that I should rely on common 
sense to keep things moving. (Excluding major rewrites of the handbook 
of course.)

I like this, but the best way is to use the author's contact form, which 
is a bit clunky. I feel like the "edit and wait for the screams" option 
is more efficient.

Just clarifying. This would require changes to the drupal.org installation?
