The unfortunate situation is that all people on the admin list are
developers, who aren't particularly intrigued by non-development tasks and/or
don't have much time. For certain things noone feels responsible. The main
problem is actually that we lack a project manager. Someone who keeps track
of important issues and ensures that they are addressed, who supervises the
decision making process, moderates discussions, and motivates the right
people to do the things that need to be done.
