Joshua may be a volunteer; I'll let him toss his hat in the ring
directly if he chooses.  But going beyond the QA position, I would be
interested in setting up a mechanism for distributing the review and
signoff of important patches across as many contributors as are
willing to do it, which might ease the burden on the QA manager a bit.

Great.  What are your plans (roughly speaking) for maintaining 3.0.x?

As do we.

This can be done on a branch-by-branch basis.  In other words, we can
set it up so that the 3.0 maintainer can push directly to the 3.0.x
branch.
