The project lead (or leader) should make decisions and of course be well in tune with the lead developers, developers, and with the fg community. As a bystander it is difficult to see a project lead in fg. What I observe is that some people have more weight in their arguments and as committers they have de facto veto power. What I see is a subset of contributors in fg that could be defined as the project lead. Of course, since this group is not (well)defined there is no control of responsibilities or clear sharing of duties(1). And I also note, fg seems to be thriving without a well defined project lead. Yes, the status seems to create some frustration and changing the structure may do more harm than good. There are many developers doing a really nice effort. (1) Yes, I know, fg is an open source voluntary effort. No one has duties and who can impose work on others? Well, a clearly defined project lead could at least highlight expectations, prioritize and define what needs to be done, and how it should be done to be accepted into fg. And what is not acceptable. Today these decisions seems to be made more or less by single developers. For those of you who make decision remember "With great powers comes great responsibility."
