I've already removed the paragraph from "How to Participate" about the "Need vote" label.
Personally I wouldn't mind if we remove the column altogether. Having too many categories also introduces a block for new users wanting to fill the table perhaps. I think a better name would be 'Roles' for that column. Then it makes sense to see 'Mentor' or 'Committer' there while everybody else will just leave it empty. --emi On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 9:42 AM, Cezariusz Marek <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, it's misleading.
