persuading them to do something, it’s not obvious why the FPL-chosen
members will be more effective than the current board members which were
elected by the very communities they are supposed to lead or persuade.
I agree that the method of selection itself isn't particularly important --
it's the framework that that lives in. Currently, we frequently have no more
candidates standing for the board than open slots. And we get very low voter
turnout.
If you want to phrase it a little more aggressive: People don't care about Fedora leadership anymore, because they have learnt Fedora is not about getting community involved.
Community takes a lot of work to maintain, and a lot of the people who started it just hoped it would continue on without that constant work. Also many in the community are developers who just want to get crap done and not deal with people issues which are required to keep any sort of community going.
