Sounds quite interesting, would they also have elections like other |
| 30 |
bodies in gentoo? |
| 31 |
This way we do not end up with three dictators / immortals. |

|

And I think there should maybe be two per lead, it's still very easy |
| 34 |
to reach consensus at 6 but it avoids getting to single-handed decisions, |
| 35 |
specially when something only actually concerns one viewpoint/skill. |
