There are opinions that those structures do not influence much. I do not 
think I can do better, I just see that Gnome appears to be lost a bit 
and I was trying to suggest a new position that may fix a leadership 
problem, a Gnome Moderator (or Sheriff if you are not against humor). It 
seems to me that Jeff Waugh is doing something similar to moderation - 
then why not to create an official position, give more rights (as well 
as responsibilities) to it and elect a man for a period?
