A couple of people have asked me off-list if there are specific qualifications that we are looking for in nominees. My personal list is pretty short: * Cares about Toolforge as a platform and a community. * Legally able and willing to sign the volunteer NDA. * Can put 1-2 hours a month into helping.
The most basic duties of the committee are enforcing the Right to fork[1] and Abandoned tools[2] policies. These duties should not typically take a lot of time. There have historically been only a few open requests at any given time.
I support the committee deciding on additional projects to improve the platform with technology or social programs. Social programs like promoting co-maintainers and public source code for all tools are maybe the most under-served thing today in my opinion.
