But listing his name on our web page as a leader of the project surely makes a difference to how the project is perceived. The active developers know he is not involved in any significant way, but you wouldn't know that from the web page. The link to the SC is right at the top of the gcc.gnu.org home page. Surely that gives a misleading impression to potential new contributors, of all genders and backgrounds. Is it helpful to give that impression? If the SC decision is that it's fine, then making a statement to that effect seems necessary. Which is the alternative Nathan asked for. Act or explain, but don't stay silent. I think it's fair to ask for that.
