I think people are helping out and approving tasks, but I still think 
there's an open question regarding *policy decisions*.

How do we make policy decisions, such as switching to google or 
choosing between two "official" external agents?

Do we hash it out on the mailing list, then somebody rolls up their 
sleeves and makes the change?  If so, I'm willing to make these two 
changes (Google and clarification on Zope in Germany).

However, if there exists someone acting as BDFL, then that person needs 
to make the call.  There are at least four people that could 
conceivably be called zope.org BDFL, and they are all taller than five 
feet four inches. :^)

How does a final decision get made made concerning zope.org policy?
