I'm fairly confident that we can't control this, because, as you said,
they'll go somewhere else to run the game... and... if they go somewhere
else for the 2nd game, they might be inclined to leave with their first
game.

My thought would be that perhaps we should allow this on a case-by-case
basis and keep an eye on things.  If the 1st game starts to seriously
suffer, then we should ask the GM to reconsider having 2+ games.  Also, I'd
suggest that we shouldn't allow new GM's to run 2+ games.  Ask them to have
the 1st one for a while and then add a 2nd later.
