Term limits and the Debian Technical Committee

I'd just say "there are two new people appointed every year. If that would take the committee over 8, then the longest serving member(s) step down.

Okay, that could cause a bit of a glitch if someone leaves mid-term, but you could then just say that if places 8 and 9 were appointed together, then either both leave (leaving a committee of 7) or both stay leaving a committee of 9.

That would only leave a real problem if three or more people left mid-term en bloc, but surely the committe could operate on a reduced basis for a while ...

Cheers,
