I'll let my man Chuck D speak for me:
"Power to the people with no delay."
Fedora is evolving, and where? Steering committees don't seem fit the
need like they did before.
I like a bit of how Mike is organizing F-Infra, around functional teams
that operate semi-autonomously, and report back to each other. EPEL
seems like it could follow a similar model. Multiple groupings loosely
coupled as a SIG, meeting once a week to be sure the bearings are
rolling smoothly.
To get there, I think we evolve. As you suggest, lower the influence,
role, or meaning of the steering committee. Try to get some functional
leaders to focus their contributions over certain areas. Add a
sponsorship methodology so people can help in these functional areas,
gaining access as they merit, etc.
The more technical the Fedora group, the less formal structure I think
it should have.
