I have always seen the council as the technical leaders of the
distribution. It handles the final approval if necessary for
cross-project changes that affect the distribution as a whole. one
example, it approves gleps (except changes to glep 39 which would be a
 community wide vote). Another example is eapis.
 
 Another role of the council is to handle appeals from qa or comrel.

I'm not really sure there needs to be a change in the role of the
council.
