I absolutely am not going to get involved in evaluating the claims of 
individual mappers. Both because it would be an inappropriate conflict 
of interest and because I don't have the time.

If the community wants to appoint somebody to do that then that's fine 
and I will be happy to act on that person's decision. I would not 
personally vote for such a system however.
