It's not good to do this in the dark.
Perhaps FOSDEM is not the right place for this to happen, because this is not much a technical issue and also because it will happen in February, but if you think it's worth I will be happy to offer a slot for a Community discussion on the matter, also as a way to collect and share both Red Hat and Azul experiences on inheriting and leading the project.
