Sorry, Ralf but this is unintelligible. I think you meant to say  
something like:
"""Oh, we need a new website admin and this should be someone from  
the admin team. We should look for someone to do this and vote on it.
If someone decides to leave the project then they should first find  
and arrange a handover."""
In response to your first point: that would be putting the cart  
before the horse. Members of the admin team are already active on the  
project. The admin team is "managed" by the various development team  
leaders. Referring to previous discussions: Haiku is accountable to  
nobody so calls to vote, particularly on who does what, are not  
applicable. Note this does not imply secrecy or closed shop but you  
are part of the team only you're doing something. As you know from  
our experience at BeFAN just saying someone is responsible for  
something does not mean it gets done.
Regarding the second point: as far as I know Waldemar did try and  
find replacements.  He certainly asked me to look after the bug  
database side which has a few feature requests but I haven't got  
round to this yet as a couple of the feature requests require some  
thinking. I'm thinking of doing a sprint related to this at  
BeGeistert in January. In addition, I think that someone is helping  
Jorge with the Drupal stuff but that does not mean more people  
wouldn't be welcome. Anyone interested should the currently dormant  
web mailing list.
