No, Matt is hoping to be able to stop being the single one in this role 
sometime this year.

 From what I understood from a conversation with Matt a couple of months 
ago is idea was:

- Get a steering committee up, to hold pretty much all decision power in 
the project. The number of 7 members was mentioned.

- Have this steering committee define some rule to give publish access 
to some contributors.

So as far as I understand/remember the next step is for Matt to work 
with the SFC to change the bylaw of Mercurial and define a steering 
committee. From there I think Matt want the steering committee to take 
care of the rest so he have an opinion but fuzzy planning as it will be 
the committee job to do these plan. I'm not sure what's the status of 
Matt/SFC discussion today.

Cheers,
