Please update subject field to reflect when, well, changing subject.

It could, if it is deemed sensible to trust an external entity separate 
from other external entities with a lot more eyeballs on them.

Or, if your idea is that "we" run the CA, I am curious how "we" as a 
non-hierarchical body deal with such a hierarchical structure as a CA.

Personally I would prefer this sliding scale:

  common CAs -> CAcert.org -> no CAs

I.e. I see no need for creating a new CA.  But am open to (at least try 
to) understand the reasoning behind your idea. :-)
