Sean, it isn't that you are lazy - far from

James
are probably two of the least active people on
IRC/Wikipedia. James has
been
absent for nearly a month now, your status is
nearly always set to away
(as
is his), and while we appreciate you are busy in
real life, this is
stuff
that needs doing. There are plenty of people
trustworthy enough for
this
role. In the past, we've had more than two
contacts (Essjay, Fennec,
Angela,
da_didi were all at the same time if I recall).
What's the problem with
adding an additional person (or more), who will actually get the work
done
well and without big delays?
If the problem lies with the people at freenode, then it doesnt matter
how active either of these two people are. For what it's worth, when I
asked for my cloak a little while back, it was handled in a very
timely fashion. That says to me that these two volunteers are actually
very speedy, when there are no impediments.
I would be interested in volunteering to be a group contact as well,
if more were needed.

Perhaps this time it is not our contacts' problem, and it is freenode. But
Sean even says in his original post... he is on a Wikibreak, and is busy in
real life. This problem comes up time and time again. Sean insists the
problem is under control. But I don't believe it is.
