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.

Yes, I very much would like to hear about your views.

I do support that. 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.
Cheers,
Mark
