I would say Pierre is, too, but let's start with the uncontroversial
candidate: Augie.

In the past was no formal process of appointing new crew members,
the only quasi-formal process was that I established a trusted way
to receive or verify the ssh key used for push access.

The crew notification mails state who pushed what, so "offenders"
can be identified, even when pushing other people's changes.

So if anyone (including Augie himself :)) has objections to adding
Augie to crew, please state this. Either here on the list or in
private mail to mpm or anyone in crew to relay it anonymously.
Ideally a reason is given, so problems can be resolved, but until we
are not able to add anyone to crew due to "I don't know why, but I
reject everyone", we should not worry about this too much.

I guess there should be a deadline, what about next week,
Monday, somewhere around 12:00 UTC?

If this process works well, repeat for other candidates :)

I have no problem with that, too, and I don't think that we need a
"crew-trivial" repository to enforce this :)
