Hi Sasha,

It is probably possible to do in advance.  But, probably only if we list
the folks for which it needs to be done in advance in the process file.
 It makes a lot of sense to have the stable maintainers as permanent
members of any response team.

But, I was hoping what I described above would be a bit more flexible
than needing to have a list.  The downside is that the response team
needs to explicitly ask every time for folks like you to be included.
