I added Moran to my list just in case - I want to be sure we don't get
in the way of work anyone is doing already, even if we aren't aware of
it. By this I mean, some folks may be doing infrastructure work but
haven't been making noise about that work; if that's happening, let's
find a way to include such folks. Perhaps as you say, Moran and others
could go through an Infra Team joining process, as long as that
doesn't interfere with his ability to work?
