So how do we explicitly get that consensus? Do we need a concrete
proposal to "vote" or otherwise express opinion on? Does anyone
strongly object if I try to write that?

Doesn't look that difficult to do. There's an example
post-receive-email script in the git contrib area that could be used
as a template, and launchpad has an easy-to-use Python API. More
details in the proposal, I guess.

That should be in the proposal. I have a few ideas on that.

I think we should get the consensus first. If that doesn't happen, we
don't need a volunteer.
