Marketing does have a broader definition within OpenSource projects but there are other lists for the 2 topics you marked as -1.
Please refer non-Marketing issues to those lists. For example the 1st point was about improving the product and that is the job of the developer's list. They are doing awesome work their. If you can join in there then do as it is valuable work. Duplicating their work in the Marketing list could cause problems. The second point was about strategy and belongs in the discussion group or possibly "bumped up" to steering group for them to make a ruling.

Our single job in this list is to work at > increasing market share. -1 Im am astonished because of your narrow-minded definition of marketing. Marketing is not only meant to increase sales or distribution numbers. In our case a very important, perhaps the most important mission for marketing is to recruit contributors.
