To avoid bureaucracy it can be part of names proposal - just comment it
on the wiki, then Board can evaluate it.

What we need is to make this part of proposal more visible, as you said,
we are small open community and if nobody steps into during this proposal
time, then we can't do anything...

As I wasn't a Board member during the F8 name selection, I think it was
unfortunate to not communicate it properly with Ralf (as I understand from
his mail and I would probably let it pass considering the facts I have ;-).

The important thing is still - we have a lot more subprojects that needs
name and probably calling them Tool X, where X can be <1, infinity) is not
a good idea so we will still need a "process" for this. Even we discard
release names.
