Fedora maintainers was supposed to be something like that. I dont think 
creating more mailing lists is the answer here. Instead of ignoring 
fedora-devel list as noise, bear with it and post more discussions there 
for general development ideas. Maintainers should be used in a limited 
fashion.

If core doesnt exist in the future, then it would be something like a 
Fedora Techinical Committee that oversees the entire Fedora development. 
I am not sure whether this needs to be a elected set of people though.
