If there's one thing that we need, it's active supporters (e.g. maintainers) IMHO.
Shifting voting rights from community to active/regular members means empowering active members.
I believe that's why KDE chose this model and why we should at least consider it.
Sorry I totally completely fail to see the reasoning behind this. Who are those 3 people? I'd like to get to know them! Since council FAILS to delegate/shanghai, no matter what the task. It's always COMMUNITY that picks up on a task and sometimes council can find a way to facilitate. It's NOT like council (or, to my knowledge, HiFo or techstaff) has ever rejected (nor shanghaied) community members for a task.
And PRETTY PLEASE don't tell me such stuff would reduce my workload as councilor! IT WILL NOT!.Au contraire. I can tell for sure since I've seen and whitnessed it in the difference between a council of 3 and a council of 5, with the latter being way more hassle than the former one.
