FYI, what do I mostly for Core is:

a) Press Relations

b) Corporate Relations

Both of those need to be handled by a core team member, because they
often fall under the "confidential contact" portion of Core's duties, or
require nonpublic knowledge of things like security releases. I agree
that general advocacy can certainly be handled outside core, and should
be -- and, for that matter, is.
