I disagree strongly and think this is unwise because many may contribute
but not have time to go through the recruitment process or any interest in
being part of the project. Also, it is critical that there is
representation from outside of the project proper, as the Gentoo developer
world can become (many will argue that is already has become) a kind of
mono-culture.

My proposal was very specific and accomplishes what is necessary to ensure
user representation in decision-making and also ensures that current
behavioral issues are addressed.
