This needs a reference. How does Apache Board appoints shepherds?
Good question, anyone know? Since it's informal I imagine shepherds
volunteer. The editors could be a subset of the PMC that either
volunteers or is rotated periodically.
Shepherds are assigned randomly by the chair 48 hours before each
meeting. Perhaps a better analogy for an editor is an Incubator Champion?

Champions are volunteers. So, rather than assigning an editor, a HEP
might ask for one to volunteer. Any PMC member might volunteer.
