Exactly. We're bootstrapping the team and the process. We (as a project)
don't necessarily know the people stepping forward to take on a
membership of this team, so it's important that the responsibilities (of
which there are many) and privileges (of which there are really none)
are clear. I see no reason not to be clear about the ground rules up
front, and make it explicit that it's not an "early warning list".  It's
a response team.
