Forgot to mention that I'm willing to take this role on for the next
couple releases.  

As for my qualifications:

I've been doing a number of the coordination responsibilities already
I'm involved in both the Node (as maintainer) and Infra (as a
contributor) projects.
I've been pretty visible to the community already through both upstream
IRC and meetings and the oVirt Workshops.
