Good question. :) It means being responsible for making sure that thing
happens in whatever way necessary. The ideal, easy case is where one cloud
SIG member can in fact do most of the work. (Or two or three members.) But a
lot of these are going to be about coordinating, bribing, and cajoling other
people into doing the heavy listing -- or figuring out alternatives when
that isn't working. For the things which impact overloaded groups like
release engineering and QA, that might include stirring up more volunteers
(from this SIG or from the broader world).

We discussed this in the FESCo meeting. Anyone _can_ propose changes after
the deadline -- it just becomes naturally harder and harder to to actually
accept them.

Yes, that. :)

Emphatically yes. We need to get the host image into awesome shape so we can
start building the needed next level too.

Originally, I had only put the owner line in the "external needs" blocks,
with the idea being that we weren't just throwing demands over the wall and
hoping someone else would make them happen. But it really wouldn't hurt to
have them for everything, even if there are still a lot of TBDs.
