No.  To me, the goal of teams is to have groups of people one can talk
to when touching a particular part of the code base.  In that sense,
your patch is a welcome improvement over the status quo; in fact, it
just formalizes what has been a de-facto situation: you’re our Racket
and Chez expert.  And even a Racket ambassador.  :-)

So I think we can go ahead with this patch and remain open to getting
more folks on board whenever an opportunity arises.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
