Excellent!  I was going to nominate
Mav but he takes on a lot already with 
greeting, proofing, and coaching regarding
article titles.

A question to consider:

On meta issues that seem generally
applicable do we:

1.  Migrate them immediately
to the main wikipedia list for discussion
there with other language people or 

2.  do we attempt to articulate the English consensus 
or significant alternatives first and then engage the 
other languages in discussion?
