I agree with Warner it's his file, he's done a good job of maintaining it and I stuck my big toe over the line when I committed to it. I don't think this needs a committee, vote, or rugby match to figure out a solution, the solution was already made out of experience: Don't commit to this file unless Warner seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. If even if it seems that he has, send him a HEADSUP a couple of hours before you do.
