Yes. I support this view point. Now that the packaging committee is 
handling the core packaging details, FESCo is more of a management job 
that doesnt really require intimate knowledge about packaging or to be a 
Fedora Extras packager to get involved and sort out affairs. Anyone who 
keeps tracks of things and is obsessed with discussing and communicating 
what is being tracked and resolved should fit the bill.
