IMHO that touches on the core issue here. JD and anyone else can offer 
up all the resources under the sun, but *it's up to the community to 
decide to use them*. In this specific case, if the community agrees that 
someone that's not a code contributor will be the CFM for a specific CF 
then I think it would work fine. Short of that, your observation might 
be very accurate.

I feel a bit bad about some of the emails I've sent on this and related 
topics because it feels hand-wavy, but I don't know what else to do. I 
can promote these ideas that I think will be very helpful, but without a 
strong consensus in the community that it's desirable any efforts will 
probably fail.
