In the weekend, when this came up, there weren't much people around; as
for authority, that appears to be conforming [1] to the GLEP.

There is a strong structure present; for policy enforcement and
breakage prevention, we have the ability to 1) act until there is
disagreement, 2) vote by majority, 3) elevate to deputy and/or lead.

If there is a quick line of action needed, it'll be there; better to be
awesome [2], than to be safe, than to be sorry.

What needs improvement is an understanding of what people can('t) do as
well as where communication is preferable to cleaning up or losing time.
