Not me, I feel I can't do it while still belonging to the groups that
I'm currently in unless there in a public vote and I'm voted in.

Yes, and what happens? someone else kicks the kicker. Addressing a
enforcer who acts out is no different than addressing a devrel member
who does the same. we try to select people that won't do that, but when
it happens we deal with it in the best possible way.

make it bugs or a webpage or whatever. I don't care so long as it's public.

The point here is that in a time sensitive situation that even the troll
should get his fair say. This is the best that I could come up with. I
hope that someone else can suggest a better way.
