Generally I appreciate this and consider it a good idea. However I
do not want to make this singular for Debian. I'd like to invite
the Gnome Project Leader (currently: Miguel de Icaza) as well.

Please ensure that it is clear that only the current DPL is a
special advisor per se. If the DPL changes (once every year)
another person will be this special advisor. The same would
apply to the GPL.
