No problem on my side, I would have found any such assignment in the same manner. I don't think I agree on such an opt-out policy (if you don't have enough bandwidth, just un-assign yourself) when the usual rule is an opt-in policy but then Peter likely has more data to back that up.

The WebKit custom is mostly unwritten. My understanding is that it is done to avoid making assumptions on people's agendas. I am not sure making it 'official' would add much but it's definitely worth a try. I will follow up with Peter offline on the gardening side.
