It's definitely on my mind, Skip.  The Jython team has already approached me
about the possibility of having us set up a tracker for them (especially
since we already house their svn repository).

Your requirement that a group volunteer someone is definitely good.  The
only worry with that is whether that person will stay on.  One of the
reasons I mandated so many people for the python-dev tracker is just in case
anyone walks off the job early.  Now granted everyone I picked I either know
personally or have already shown their level of dedication so I am not
worried.  But the same cannot be said about other projects.

As for accepting more projects, if the guys say "sure", then I am all for
it.  We will most likely put in place some scheme for limiting what projects
we pick up (we do not need to become the SF of the Python world).  But I am
sure something like annual voting at the PSF members meeting or having the
PSF Infrastructure committee decide should be enough of a filter to keep
things under control.

Anyway, as you said, this is all step 62 whlie we are on 1.  =)
