The model that Juho, Nikodemus and I agreed to propose to the wider
community was approximately the following:

  All current CVS committers who desire it can have the SourceForge
  "project administrator" bit set, to do administration on the
  facilities that SourceForge provides: new project members, mailing
  list issues, and the like.

  Juho, Nikodemus and I take over release management for the next six
  months, at which point we discuss what in that time has worked and
  what hasn't, and whether any changes (to personnel or process) need
  to be made.  We continue to do time-boxed releases (though since
  time has slipped, maybe not at the now-traditional 25thish of the
  month); 1.1 may or may not happen during this six-month period,
  depending on how people feel.

  All else continues as before, with a vote of thanks to Bill for
  having taken up these responsibilties for so long.

I hope that this is OK by people,

Best,

Christophe
