You even want a new NFP handling it so why duplicate efforts when one NFP and community led infra already exists?
I think I already made my rationale pretty clear there, it there's something more specific in what said that's not clear, feel free to ask & I'll try to clarify.

To add to duplication efforts, you also want syndication?
You seem to have misunderstood what was said there, try re-reading...

I like to know what are the interest groups that trouble you around here and what's the guarantee something like won't happen at your desired nirvana? Sigh... Either you don't remember FMC or just are one of those people who believe a higher version number == better...
Interest groups would be people (whoever, no-one in particular) who've carved out their own little niche (that comes in many shapes/forms) & are afraid of losing it.
That is often a motivating factor for people protesting against change...
I find it odd how meego.com is often quoted as some kind of "epic disaster", it was only that way because Nokia pulled the rug out on it all very prematurely.
If the money train kept coming, maemo.org ultimately would've withered, & everyone now would be saying how wonderful meego.com always was.

There is something to be said for the ethos of maemo.org, undoubtedly there's something special there, but I think it can be replicated, perhaps even improved upon.
And I think both communities would be all the stronger for it when they're more tightly targeted towards their own sw stacks, but still closely cooperating.
