Whether it makes sense to move it to TDF is, I believe not material to this discussion (we had William once volunteering to do it, but somehow the project hit the old snag of whether posting requires subscription). The ESC decision-making happens during weekly meetings, the minutes thereof are being hosted on TDF's etherpad instance. And indeed, the ESC was grandfathered in (the old steering committee, which bootstrapped itself from the group of forkers, and was something like an inofficial board before TDF came into existence, decided to set it up).
