I think this is an interesting proposal. While the current infra |
17 |
members are no doubt technically strong, I think there currently |
18 |
exists an organization problem in that team in that they are failing |
19 |
to scale with the rest of the community. I have offered to help out a |
20 |
bunch of times, as I know others have, and clearly some people are |
21 |
making a positive contribution without being infra members, but it |
22 |
feels to me like all of that would be much more efficient if they were |
23 |
actually part of infra. |

I do think this discussion deserves its own thread, since this thread |
26 |
is already being contaminated with way too much repetition. |
