To be fair to Walter/Andrei, you need to be clear who your lieutenant

Who has stepped up to take charge of concurrency in D?
I think it should be other way around - announcing slot with listed
responsibilities / decision power and asking for volunteers, same as
it was done with release process "tzar" (kudos Andrew).
Just "stepping up" is a no-op action without explicit delegation. Also
I believe every such domain needs two persons in charge and not just
one - for example, Sean Kelly is most suitable candidate for such role
but who accept his PR then? :)
@ Walter & Andrei
Would a list of subject areas that require delegation be a good idea to
put on the wiki? A list of positions, both available and filled?
I think that's a good idea, I'll think of it.
In the meantime there seems to be a want of even foot soldiers and
corporals, which seems to be a good way to promote lieutenants. In the
post I just sent I pointed out a number of good and absolutely trivial
pull requests for https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos that
simply sit there for days and weeks.
