Maybe he's the kind-of de facto lead for the moment?
As the ooo community as a whole did not follow the transition to LibO,
my feeling is that the community here is kind of starting from scratch.
We should take the chance and try to establish our own identity, leads
and processes. IMHO, of course.
But maybe I'm wrong, so don't take my words for the only truth possible.
Jean, you're always welcome to take/continue your role as doc lead here,
too
