I agree and think that's the definition of core. So the committers need to 
agree either:

1) Someone steps up to concentrate on some area/former contrib no matter
   what the problem

   I will do this for the "Stargate" REST connector and the EC2 scripts
   (which should just go into bin/cloud/ I guess). I have already been
   doing this.

2) All committers agree to support something as needed. 

   For me: Thrift connector, REST connector, EC2 scripts; no problem

   Not sure about IHBase or THBase. I think we would need to choose one or
   neither.

I'd say we opt for #2 style agreement if someone does not feel comfortable
with the #1 style agreement, but in my opinion as long as a committer says
they will take care of something, that's good enough for me.
