I full agree. IMO, this is part of the job of the full-image maintainer.

The idea is that the community participates in the discussion but the
final decision is made by the maintainer.

If the community doesn't like the final decisions, the maintainer can be
fired but while the maintainer is in charge he/she has the last word.

I think this is the only way to decide and do something.

I thinks the best way is to create another area... something like
"Squeak Content & Look".

I can be also the maintainer of the area in the beginning, but this area
can be easily splited-off if somebody wants to take this responsibility.

Sure.

I feel the same.
