I believe that this change has been made in this way to lets focus on
the activities and not on the role
I think (but not sure) that the purpose of these changes (names and
approval) is to provide an idea of the kind;
"No matter the title, if there is commitment, everyone can collaborate
on openSUSE."
Even in Italian the word "advocate" is very similar to that used for
the attorney ("avvocato"), but I think it's a very, very minor
problem.
Honestly, I never believed so much in the importance of the name ("A
rose by any other name would smell as sweet" W. Shakespeare), but the
important thing is that people feel part of a community united and
active. The sense of community is crucial.
I can understand that when things work well, the changes may seem
inappropriate or even harmful, but these can be of the basic steps for
further improvement, and to enlarge our beautiful community.
Obviously, it's just my opinion
