For the record, i was frog meister for some time and i have to say
that depending on quantity and skill of new contributors, frog meister
work can take significantly longer than 30 minutes a week (if you want
to give your contributors more attention than "send me a patch for
pushing").
I'm sorry that i cannot help here now; my LilyPond time is irregular
now and that doesn't make me a good candidate for frog meister. For
example, i have an important math test on university in a week, and no
free time to prepare myself for it - i'll have to cease LilyPond
activity for several days.
no cheers :(
