Not sure if I'd want to take the lot on! But I'd certainly be happy to
load-share, if this would help?

It's easy until people inevitably get busy with other things or have crisis
which they have to prioritise. The good thing about having a few people on
deck means the load is balanced and there is a contingency for the
unexpected.

Having a sensible publishing policy can do the same thing for consistency,
just as we have for code commits.

To be fair, I think we've established that this is not how things have been
happening.

 If a manager doesn't know how to check something has not already been
published before posting then they probably are in the wrong role, to be
honest.

What happens when people don't know who that person is or can't get hold of
them?
