[Crawl-ref-discuss] Nomination for new team member

[Piper E. <Eri...@zo...>]

I'd like to nominate David Ploog to become our sixth team member. I'd
like to do so because:

1. He's smart and dedicated.
2. He's already doing as much as one would imagine from a team member,
so we might as well formalize it.
3. He's already playing quite a formal role (de facto documentation
czar), might as well formalize that as well.
4. 2. and 3. are already giving him a lot of power; he might as well get
a corresponding level of responsibility.
5. He has strong opinions. We need people with strong opinions.
6. It'd make us the only roguelike dev/des-team in the world to have 2
mathematicians and 2 non-programmers.
7. Having no tiebreaker vote will make us go crazy, and everybody knows
crazy people are geniuses.

Unfortunately we have no decision-making model for decisions like this.
I was thinking of holding a discussion on our decision-making system
first and making this nomination after it was settled, but that would
feel a bit... awkward. Just this once, let's assume we all have a veto,
since if even one of us doesn't want the team to have a new member,
we'll all feel bad with the decision in the future. But we really do
need some agreement about what's strong enough agreeement for future
decisions. :-)
