So a lot of people appear on IRC to check that someone is actually
reading their emails re Planet and while Jeff did create Planet,
it's now become a very important piece of GNOME's web presence.
Maybe it's time to make a team responsible for it and feed its
email into Request Tracker so that they know what email is handled.

As Corey says, and by Jeff's own admission, Jeff is often crazy-busy
and it's been this way since before linux.conf.au. I don't see that
really changing any time soon.

I would like to see a team (perhaps lead by Jeff?) formed to take
responsibility for Planet.
