From a practical matter, as the BDFL-Delegate [1] it would be pretty hard to 
get a decision somewhere that you’re not participating in. My own personal 
motivation for client side has been pretty low lately, so I presume that the 
bulk of what I would be posting there would be related to the server side 
anyways. Of course I can’t control other people so if other people are posting 
there for client side stuff, then they’d have to summarize over here for you or 
something.

[1] Although depending on which governance PEP gets selected, we may end up 
losing our BDFL-Delegate status as some of the proposals don’t grant the 
ability for the decision making entity to delegate their authority. Although 
other ones do, though it’s not clear if they grant them on a long standing 
basis or not, and at least one of them explicitly encodes in the idea of long 
standing delegations.
