> I would prefer having more (9+?) than less folks on this task, so personal preferences are easily ignored and overwritten by the group majority. I disagree with that, the more doesn't really the better here. Having too many editors may result in a tragedy of the commons, in which people just commit to the job because many others do, and they do not end up doing as much because they expect others to do the it. This does not only make the process look bad but may burnout the ones that end up doing the job, given their time commitment ends up being too far from their expectations. I think being more moderate with the amount of people is better, and gives us leeway in case the workload ends up being excessive and we need to add more people (plus discourage people from joining and slacking off). I think 3 more people should be a good number to start from.
