IMVHO, we should try to exclude active GDB maintainers from the
committee.  Given the fallout from the incident(s) that led to these
discussions, I think the committee's membership should be as remote
as possible from any doubts regarding their objectivity; including
people some of whom were involved in the kind of personal conflicts
that led to this would go against that, IMHO.

That is not to say that I don't trust GDB maintainers nominated for
the committee, but as we all know, sometimes justice needs to be seen,
not only done.
