After going over this a few times, there is one thing that strikes me
that nobody has mentioned: the list of tasks mentioned there has one
that's completely unlike the others. These are related to human
relations:
Acting as a conduit for confidential communication. Making policy announcements. Managing permissions for
commits,infrastructure, etc. Handling disciplinary issues. Making difficult decisions when consensus is lacking.
while this one is highly technical: Coordinating release activities.
It seems that only this last one is where most people seem to have a
problem. I wonder if it makes sense to create a separate group that
handles release activites -- the "release team."
