Take three all put together hopefully clearer.. There was a recent topic raised on [1] with regards it was difficult to find information how Fedora is governed. QA community has never voted on any QA board to handle any decision making which kinda makes our community more or less self governed and yet there have been cases where it has been mentioned that QA has decided and QA has voted on various topics which may appear confusing to outsiders and even our own community since we don't have any community QA board We don't have anything on the QA page ( and most likely elsewhere ) that explaining how QA is governed ( Triagers/Reporters/AutoQA etc. ) within the QA community. ( Which should not come as a surprise since we don't actually have any governs so to speak ) There are of course people in employment from Red Hat that are paid full time to work in the QA community as there are other Red Hat employs paid to work in other aspects of the Fedora project which in turns begs question who actually hold any kind of authority over any kind of decision making within the QA community. Some of of us know that it's most likely James that made that decision and or Adam or some other Red Hat employee but to newcomers or people generally unfamiliar to/with our community it may appear confusing. For example hows the board supposed to be able to clear that up to people without us doing it first within the QA community? Do we want/need to vote a QA board/SIG that will handle that decision making in the future or would listing of those individuals with some kind of authority/decision/ruling power from the QA community on the QA wikipage suffice or perhaps something else? What do new members/recently joined members of our community have to say about this?
