Sorry I misread some of that.

Like I said the main role of the Tome Lead is docs, not web.  If you or
someone wants this job the best thing to do is to start working through the
large backlog of documentation issues.  Cleaning up the wiki, updating the
guru handbook, getting permanent docs into drupal, etc.  None of those
things requires very special access, and anything that does can be uploaded
by another lead who has access once the content is done.

We need current docs way more than we need web design or the like.
