Very much +1 to that! I think Richard and Thorsten need to come up with the trajectory for the project. As I see it -- it can go either way.

That jumped at me as well (great minds... ;-)). However, looking at the matter further it appears that bylaws may be too grand a term here. The community seems to be simply seeking a 'modus operandi' if you will.
