This is the main reason I've never seriously
considered running myself.
I've been with the project since 2001, and I've taken on many
large-scale long-term editing projects, but there's always been the
option of simply stopping what I'm doing when it becomes too tedious and
doing something else instead. If I've made a definite commitment like
running for ArbCom, on the other hand, I'd feel terrible if I dropped
out partway through. And three years is rather a long time to feel
terrible for.
For better or worse you would not be expected to participate in every
case, or even the majority of them. For what little it's worth if you
do run, you'll have my undivided support.
