Then there's the issue of support from and participation in the
general ASF infrastructure. That's "where do I go for this or that",
or "You're really an awesome security hack, you know, they could use
some help on security@".
Neat! Where do I sign up?

This is exactly what I would like it to be: facilitation rather than regulation. Being there, actively helping out people. For cocoondev.org, we had the idea to have one 'PMC-style' guy specifically appointed to each project to explicitely shepherd a project at important moments.

While I understand this 'put the responsibility where it belongs' thing, hence topleveling, I think we should help out projects who don't feel quite ready to take up that responsibility. There is still a need for an XML PMC IMO.
