I plan to go offline for the latter half of this month (I may sporadically pop up but may not be engaging deeply in the discussions or picking up patches).

This time, can we try a fire drill that I do not nominate or ask anybody to be an interim maintainer and see how well community manages the discussion and patch flow during these two weeks?

It can be somebody stepping up and say "ok, I'll self nominate and run the project as the interim maintainer, just like it was done in the past years", or "let's do something differently, how about everybody throws a merge request to this mob repository, use this (possibly different) review procedure, and give back the tip of 'master' when Junio returns", or "OK, we'll discuss and exchange patches for these two weeks among ourselves and we can cope without a central meeting place".

IOW, I am interested to see if the community comes up with a day-to-day project structure that may be better for the contributors than what I have dictated in the past during my vacation time.

Thanks.
