Oh, I'm happy to volunteer (as I've said before). The questions are:
1) Is there a better choice for "dictator" (project maintainer)?
2) Are there problems with my (or the, depending) vision of the project?
3) Is the project vision interesting enough to others to work on too?
I think the answers are no, no, and yes. I just don't think the discussion
period is quite closed yet. If our esteemed list owner thinks we've passed
the point of diminishing returns on discussion before code, then I'd be
happy to start coding based on my (somewhat undescribed) understanding of
the design goals.
I think we have a lot of blather, but it's mixed with useful insights.
And no code? I do have a running prototype. If nothing else goes
anywhere, I'll be evolving it into something more useful. I have a
pretty good idea of how much work is involved -- I've written a server
(but not a full mudlib) from scratch before.

Despite Alan Cox's warning about discussing issues for a month before
coding, I still think a little more discussion is called for. Semantic
properties of an in-game language are comparatively undiscussed, for
example.
