I stumbled upon the following sentence:

> 言いだしっぺとして、10人がんばります！

Context: a person is told to invite 10 persons, and seems to answer
"言いだしっぺとして, I will try my best to get 10 persons!"

What does the 言いだしっぺとして part mean?  
What nuance does it bring to the sentence, compared to a simple "10人がんばります！"?

Since he is the one who originally proposed the idea of getting 10 people, it
