I'm not involved enough with the BIPs repository to have a good view on the
exact best number of editors, but I agree that it is better to have a smaller
group where everyone is actively engaged. Three sounds reasonable.
Thank you to all the editors, and special mention to Murch, for your excellent
work on revitalizing the BIPs repository in the last 2 years. For the visible and
the invisible work.
