You get Joe and Vipin to work together and agree with what to do.  You
don't email 4 other people and 2 mailing lists with a request to join

It's not like we don't do this kind of things all the time, and have
been for years, it just takes a willingness for the people involved to
work together.  Hopefully that is the case here.
