alberto reminded "the leaders" that they cannot ignore others after jow
had already replied so just thought it might be good to explain why the
reply took a bit and why from my POV there is no compulsory involvement
in every detail of every discussion. maybe you misunderstood me. i was
trying to emphasize that personally i think this discussion is going the
right way without a centralized "leader". the only thing i would like to
see is that the wiki whatever it will look like runs on the lede infra.
