You are painting this problem as merely a internal communication issue within one organization while seemingly overlooking the fact that it is a large organization and not everyone is sitting in the same office or part of the same team. However the problem is much larger and affects GNOME on the whole. There is a lack of communication from GNOME towards users and the broader community on the rationale behind some of the changes (regardless of whether this change originates from Red Hat developers or not) and that can be solved by documenting the expected workflow. This would help some of the more seasoned users (Adam here for instance) gather the information and convey that to other end users. If users are expected to hang out in the right IRC channels, then we definitely have problems (timezone differences make it impossible or atleast inconvenient for a lot of people). KDE 4 launch already has shown us what could go wrong. If I was part of GNOME marketing, I would put all my energy into avoiding a repeat.
