Regarding contributor morale, we do consider it. Of course we

expand our meeting team, to overhaul the DIP process, to start
inviting stakeholders from the community to the planning
sessions we have when we're discussing issues related to their
interests.
It's why these days I push Walter and Atila for more verbosity
in their rationales when they approve or reject a DIP. They are
both very terse when they initially let me know their decision.
I'm the one writing the announcement in the forums, so I want
to make sure I understand the rationale fully and that it
adequately addresses potential questions. I've learned the hard
way that even uncontroversial decisions need a solid rationale
that everyone can understand.
Ok, maybe I just read more to the nuances of the summary than
there actually is. And in any case, clearly you do consider my
points important already.
