As I said earlier, this "Bug Meister" has completely different
responsibilities than the previous position of the same name.
- how many new Bug Squad members did you teach?
- how much of CG 7 Issues did you write?

I have had high-level policy discussions with Carl, Trevor,
Patrick, and others during GDP, and I've ended up (pretty-much)
blindly applying their patches because I was confident that they
would follow the plan that we'd agreed on.  If any of them wanted
to be Bug Meister, I'd have complete confidence in their ability
to run the "daily" tasks.  Sure, I might want to discuss the
overall policy with them from time to time -- but that's part of
the Meister's job.
