Right; so I don't think the non-involvement in governance is anything
to go by; "those who can do, those who can't govern" (paraphrased)
I disagree. By choosing to be part of a self-governing open source
community, participation in governance becomes a given. A community
this size working on a code-base this size and wanting to use a
democratic process doesn't get the option to ignore non-code issues.
And rule-by-the-loudest-voice is not democracy (even if it pretends
to be in certain countries). So once again I come back to the
question; what practical approach do we collectively propose instead?
The Constitution does not cover this yet.
