Hi Andy, many thanks for your input!

You could also look at it another way. Why do it? Collaborative software

development

is a human activity. What are the problems with humans you're trying to

'solve'?

Actually it's not me who is trying to solve these "problems". I tend to think it's impossible right from the start. But obviously management tasks are not the most popular ones and some community members might not always be happy with the work of some manager - that's why it could in principal make sense to automate/democratize such tasks.
