I really need to finish up my Spins SIG job descriptions. The leader and the
wranger can (and should) be different people. We first need an energenic
leader with some opinions on what spins should be. The wrangler job is
easier (especially if there are people to delegate some tasks to).

This could work if we limited ourselves to a few spins with strong SIGs
behind them. But someone would need to decide which spins had strong enough
backing to do this for.
