Bus Factor

This is a macabre question. Apologies if it's not welcome here.

As I understand, the current Lua development team is three people, the same 
three who created the language to start. The results of a small team 
operating in lockstep speak for themselves, but no one is around forever.

Is there a succession plan? When one of you moves on, is there someone 
lined up to take your place? Is this something you're thinking about at 
this stage, or something you're confident enough you can figure out as it 
happens?

I'd hate to see de facto maintenance be opened up to the public, or worse, 
a big company. That's how you end up with the Python problem, and lose 
everything that makes Lua special. I hope none of us live to see that day.

No one likes to think about this kind of thing, but it has to be thought 
about at some stage.
