There's another aspect of burnout: two years is a big commitment. In the past, we've bad people who really were getting burned out or busy with other commitments but who felt they couldn't really step down without abandoning their responsibilities. If we did go to two year terms, I'd rather see one year + automatic re-up if you want. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/E6ZY52JCSAGB2UWCQ6FVSBFMCPCVBLOF/
