So we already have a release team, but not titled as such.

Is 'core' the same as 'steering'? I couldn't find any reference to
"core committe" or "core team" via google. At
http://developer.postgresql.org/bios.php I see the group of people
referred to as "Steering". Is their function defined anywhere?
If these things are not documented, they should be. Where do I
start?
