Really, I don't think so, John. Certainly, that was not my intention.
'Dove' is perhaps a special case, but I'm not really thinking about
projects run on behalf of the CC. Most of the websites, databases and
so on (including my own email list administration arrangements) aren't
set up or run on behalf of anyone. We do it as individuals.

If I drop dead tomorrow, then I hope that the couple of people who
have access to relevant details could keep things going. Maybe it
wouldn't be the end of the world if they couldn't. My thought was
simply that it could be useful to have a small group to monitor and
service such facilities if anything prevents the owner from doing so.
