Holger, thanks for bringing this issue forward.

As I said on IRC, I am skeptical about the need for a formal 
organization.  I not sure about what kind of problems it would solve 
that aren't solvable by other means.

But I do think we should contemplate what to do when key people leave 
the project and others join.  IOW, we should think about establishing 
processes and document them.  It is my personal believe that this will 
be much more important to the continued prospering of OE than a formal 
organization.

Just my 2 cents.
