I agree, such a team should be created. I'll be first in line to sign up, and as part of such a team I'd be happy to help "own" OOjs UI (although I'd not be comfortable being the lead on owning it).
If we can't lobby management to (re)create one, we'll have to set up a "cross-functional" skunkworks team if we want anything big to get done.
IMO a skunkworks team for critical infrastructure would be a sad outcome.
I would love to be involved, but I'm already stretched thin with multimedia-related commitments and probably don't have time to be the main point person. But if there's a few others who would like to chip in... maybe we can make some decisions and push some code around!
Me too, with the API and the AuthManager project. Plus I don't understand our JS ecosystem well enough to perform the requisite major surgery on OOjs UI without hand-holding from someone who does know how the packaging should work.
