I don't disagree with you, but I think it will not make a huge
difference at the end of the day, because the most active OCaml
packagers are Jerry and Rich [1] who are already proven packagers anyway.
So I'd leave it up to the two to make the call.
I guess I'm not clear on the benefits that such a group would provide.
Can you explain a bit more, Michel?
I'm not opposed to the idea. It might be great. I'm just not sure
how it would be different from the status quo.
