No problem with that - see the planet openSUSE.

But I expect that team to take the lead ;)

Let's talk with Pavol whether we can use connect.opensuse.org for this in 
the future. It handles group membership and we could create an 
"Ambassadors" group and have the team approve joining it - and then take 
care of the rest. connect is not ready yet but we could tell the team what 
we need from them so that once connect is ready, we can use it.

Let's not be too strict on this for now - but yes, we should have a list of 
active members...
