Who's in charge?

Resend everything after 2/18 since these somehow did not make to the
list.

I'll stay as close to OE dev as possible, so as a general principle,
efforts should go to OE dev first.  The coordination should goes here
on the mailing list.  Basically, I hope when anything changed in OE
that is related to OM distro, people should CC here.

So, it goes like this:

* If it's not in OE yet, push it into OE following the OE process.
* Post the change here
* Sync into OM.mtn next time

Graeme is maintaining distro OM in OE, so issues like what you said in
the first mail should go to him, if I understand the issue correctly.

There are always exceptions.  Changes made by me usually go to OM.mtn
first to have immediate effect, and will be pushed upstream later.
Another example would be Graeme's work in qtopia-phone.  It goes to
OM.mtn first because it's not general enough to be put in OE dev, but
we need qtopia-phone fast.
