At present is it nobody's job (or everyone's job?) and the result is not really good enough.
So if someone (or two) is willing to take on the task, and we have reasonable confidence in them, we should 'appoint' them (and 'sack' them if it goes badly). At least we can revert to some previous known-ok-ish state.
Who is "we?" Someone still has to take responsibility for making these decisions, which brings us back to the original problem. ... The current problem is that no one is in charge. The solution is to find someone who want's to be responsable for the maintainence. ...
Note that this in no way precludes contributions of effort by many others - that's what the trac system is for and it works very well in my opinion. But this requires a "gatekeeper" which is missing now.
In short - the system is fine - just find a new "gatekeeper"
