Forming a "Project Leadership Committee"

Xapian is in the process of joining the Software Freedom Conservancy
(https://sfconservancy.org/), but one thing we need to sort out before
we can finalise this is some sort of more formal project leadership
structure.

James Aylett and I have discussed this with Bradley Kuhn from
Conservancy, and we think the most appropriate model currently would be
a small group of at least 3 (to avoid deadlock when there's
disagreement), with a mechanism to allow a change to a different
structure if the project evolves such that something else becomes more
appropriate.

So we need three or more people who are up for the job.  James is happy
to do it, as am I (and as the two longest term contributors who are
still actively involved we're fulfilling the equivalent de facto role
currently), which means we need at least one more - any volunteers?

Feel free to discuss with James and/or me off-list if you're interested
but have questions.

Cheers,
    Olly
