[snip good points]

I also am concerned about labeling and requirements and narrow values
of what is and isn't an Ambassador.  There have to be better ways to
ensure that people are contacted promptly.

One way is to have people add themselves to contact lists.  For
example, I could just put on my own [[User:Quaid]] page a tag
[[Category:Contact me as an Ambassador]] (or something).  When I'm no
longer interested in being contact, I remove that tag from my page.

Just be sure to put a note on the page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Contact_me_as_an_Ambassador
that says to please contact someone else if you haven't heard back
within X days.
