Would we make the same choice if there were a more even spread of
contributors around the globe? </devil's advocate>

I think yes, since that could be a 'most good' option. In addition, if
the meeting moves compared to UTC, that is really moving a meeting
time, which is a good way to stab people for attending on
time-but-whoops-not-in-your-timezone.

I suppose all solutions have the same overhead of reminding people
about the affect if they have follow DST.
