So *who* is in charge with blogging? Everyone? Anyone? Who is int he 
mood that respective week?

As I said a couple of times in the past release cycle: GNOME does not 
use any more an unlock dialog, GDM is used for the job.

How about the plan of having a pack of four additional wallpapers 
(personas stuff)? They follow the schedule of the "wallpaper" or need 
separate milestones? (i think the later is what we need)

Yes, i think we can use some reminders which preferably come in scary 
words, like "the next week is the deadline for wallpaper concept 
submissions, any new proposal coming after the deadline will NOT be 
accepted"
