Any suggestions? I would like to have someone with social skills, who
is neutral, and who is not afraid of set up and say enough is enough
when needed. Preferable someone with a history without too much
conflicts.

I suggest programmerq, who said this on IRC:

Another candidate would be Ariadne, who I know is not afraid of take
action when needed, but I'm worried that Ariadne may not be seen as a
neutral participant.
