(I meant to respond to this earlier)

The "Harvesters" have also recently organized as a Squeak Foundation project, to coordinate reviewing fixes and enhancements, submitted from the community, for inclusion into the base image.

See the SqF page at http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/45

The Harvesters being a SqF project mostly just means that it is recognized by Squeak Central and the SqF (Cees de Groot) as the group in charge of harvesting.  It's a purely volunteer effort.

(At this point, I think it's fair to say that Cees is the de facto person in charge of the Squeak Foundation, given the work that he's done with setting up the mailing lists, wikis, domain name, etc.)
