Please don't burn out. I do believe we need you for the future of GNU. I truly hope one outcome of the current discussions about what defines GNU will be a structure that reduces the stress and burnout because tasks and responsibilities are better described. So people can more easily volunteer for tasks when they see someone is getting overloaded. > And yes, my > views have evolved since I have become more involved in GNU in > non-maintainership tasks and I understand more about the overall project > and the reality of keeping it running.

And would urge others to drop this particular thread. Yes, there was a break of trust. But that will just take time to heal (I hope). Brandon and Mike do provide a valuable service of trying to give us a kind public list to discuss all things GNU. I hope they don't burn out, because I do know how hard that is. Please give them a bit of time to make this happen. Lets just turn the discussion back to GNU Project governance issues while avoiding specific discussions about people and their capabilities.
