+\r
+I think it depends on your definition of shepherd. If it means review\r
+your patches and tell you what needs to be done, then we can probably\r
+handle that. Things tend to stall if the patch proposer loses interest\r
+after the first review, so we're pretty far from "fire and forget".\r
+\r
+I'd like to hear one or two more opinions from regular contributors\r
+before I say "yes, this is something we want to do."\r
