So now, Hyperbola needs wait for an individual volunteer on the list who
wants to take on the role of ensuring that this application continues to
move forward ("application manager"), right?

So now, Hyperbola needs wait for an individual volunteer on the list who
wants to take on the role of ensuring that this application continues to
move forward ("application manager"), right?

i think jason was indicating, as might normally be done in the future,
that someone else representing GNU would gather that information and
post it to gnu-linux-libre@nongnu.org on behalf of the new distro to
begin the community evaluation phase - 

only in this case he was interjecting immediately, vouching that in
this case, the distro is already know to be a valid candidate and needs
no further scrutiny at this level
