As do I. My thoughts in more detail:
- the number of stewards should be five to increase stability
. the positions should be filled by majority vote of core-devs
- the terms should be for life, with the acknowledgment that stepping
down at any time for any reason is perfectly acceptable
The stewards' duties:
- appoint PEP delegates as needed (not every PEP needs a delegate)
- decide PEPs that don't have delegates
- decide on major issues (such as revision control systems, main discussion
forums, etc.)
As has been said already, there is no rush.
