Yikes, this sounds like an NGO (Mozilla Foundation, etc.) and overhead
(to accept support, etc.).

Is there a way Gruber could "anoint" someone with the relevant level
of interest and gruber-esque design+coding sense?  That could be
tough.  As someone who studies governance and policy, this is a sticky
situation... and one where the classic answer of "fork!" has already
been done a couple dozen times, without "answering" the problem.
best, Joe
