[MR] Proposal for reducing the backlog of scrolls with help fromBarons/esses and Heralds

[R.I.P. Louise]

I must agree.  I would like to have a complete, registered name and
heraldry, however it has taken me 2 years to decide on a first name, and I
still don't know what my last name will be.  Also, I have yet to decide on a
device to register.  While persona development is an interest of mine in the
SCA, it is not my primary interest and is often preceeded by other
activities.
