who's going to manage repos, elections, inquiries from people who want to get their account changed, packages that break, new maintainers, upload permissions, techstaff, old maintainers, mails to garage, "making friends with Jolla", mails to council, last instance to appeal when bans etc happen, announcements, coordination...
You're now doing all this on yourself? Good luck! We started to run into difficulties when 5 council members been involved and needed to coordinate with each other.
Council IS proxy of community, among other stuff. Council however first and foremost is *work* for stewardship.
And a "council with real power", that would be something new and I don't know if I like that idea. We seen how it ended when guys in HiFo BoD thought they had "real power". Basically this directly got us into this whole mess

>>And if we do, who will proxy the proxy, possibly ad infinitum?<< let's see, last election valid ballots been ~100 (ok a tad less, but then the councils with 3 members were best of all, not those with 5) so proxy of community is 1/20. Now 1/20 proxy of 5 guys in council is who? rzr's left foot? your hamster?
