Appoint responsibilities? Basically, if something needs to be distributed in a working fashion, we need _something_ to distribute it. The Board doesn't get it's hands dirty, so a steering committee?
A committee can hardly assign tasks to people. And that's where I'm afraid this whole thing collapses.
Just as we had people for 12.3 to distribute $LANGUAGE messages in twitter and then he was gone for 13.1, but registered openSUSE-$LANGUAGE.
I agree with you, in the end what the openSUSE Team chooses to do or chooses not to do is in principle no different than any other team. It just happens that the team has done a lot of the release work and now if this will no longer be done by the openSUSE Team we have to find other people to do it.
We have to start by understanding "the release work" first. Apart from that, I think we have plenty of capable people.
Being capable is one thing, having time another. I don't see tons of people standing around and asking what to do.
Yup. Considering this a good chunk of our discussions can be boiled down to a simple question: If we go with the multi integration branch model that is being discussed, where/how are we going to find the necessary chaperone's to manage all these staging branches? If we end up with 10, 20, you name it staging trees, and we still only have the "factory maintainers" looking over things, how is that any better than the 1 integration branch we have today? The over all workload for factory maintainers would only go up with multiple staging trees because things get way more complicated. And yes, anyone who thinks they can assign work to someone volunteering their time is IMHO barking up the wrong tree, it's not going to happen.
