100% agreement.

You mean "each core library", I presume.  IMO, it is impractical to
have one lead and one team for all, or even most of them.

Not sure what that means.

>     - Each supported platform

This needs more detailed description.  What is a "platform"?  We have
Posix systems with and without GTK/Lucid/Motif, with and without
Cairo.  Are those the same platform, or do we need experts for each
toolkit?  Are all Posix systems the same "platforms", or do we need
separate experts on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, and Irix?

>     - Performance

I don't think this should be a separate team.  Each core team should
be responsible for performance in their area, because solution of any
performance problems in each area is specific to that area.
