That impression was probably set by me, it was unintentional, and I
hope I can correct it.  My intent was to find a way to create a
CG that "owned" complete responsibility for the site, "staff" it
with the right set of people, and then empower them to, as Glynn
is fond of saying, jfdi.  Unfortunately, the part about having
the individuals already involved continue as leaders in the new
CG fell off into the bit bucket.  Sorry.

I think you and I are really in violent agreement - let those
who wish to do the work actually try and do the work without
micromanaging, bypassing or second guessing them.

I updated the wiki page to explicitly say (note bullet 3.3)
