Jorge, Niels is actually a part of the developer team. I think it is
already mentioned in the article you refer, that members of the development
team are simply those with commit access to the source code. Since you
specifically mention "direct coordination with the development team", why
not pick up on his initiative and coordinate with Niels?
That being said, I think we should do good to welcome anyone's initiative
for that matter. Initiative is exactly what we need, not discouragement.
Best regards,
-Stephan
