I think I'll answer this, as in my initial mail nominating myself you asked about my UI experience:

Less so, I'm a terminal junkie. I know what I hate, as it were, for example adding a new user with the manager role in PAS is dire, but I'm more interested in ensuring integrators can easily customise a UI than perfecting the OOTB one. As long as it's usable it's enough for me.

Although UI isn't my number one concern, I certainly don't plan on ignoring it. It's our job to do a rounded evaluation of the PLIPs, we'd be negligent if we ignored UI. That doesn't mean we need to be UI experts personally. As you say, there are plenty of people in the community for us to consult, and I know people in real life. My code has to go through usability testing, I don't see why I should put my name to anything that doesn't meet the standards I'm held to.
