All managers are listed on http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/metastructure/projects.xml?showlevel=1. They are indeed elected by the following procedure: When there is a vacancy, all developers can propose other developers as project lead. Then all developers (including the nominees) can tell why a certain person should not be made project lead. Then the existing managers choose the new lead from the remaining nominees. This election procedure is currently a "draft" procedure. Before we took the most capable person that was interested, as previously we didn't had this much developers (nor was the management team really official). > >Everybody can propose to alter the Social Contract. > > Can Gentoo maintainers alter the Social Contract? Everybody can propose to alter the Social Contract. That's all there is to it. No-one is allowed to touch the contract without being backed up by the managers decision.
