Those are not the only lines of communication for the devel team. LOL.
Alot of the development communication is via those channels plus, email,
iirc, conference calls etc...
Also, you may find it interesting that Fedora is planning on having LTS
versions as well, which means Blag, would also be LTS.
One of the things they are dealing with is removing some of the questionable
software/programs that RedHat/Fedora includes..ie: SELinux and others.
Considering it is a new team and the nature of the beast (Fedora short
release cycle), I do not think you can compare it to Trisquel yet... Just
like you cannot compare Parabola to Trisquel, completely different. If
Fedora and they go LTS then perhaps it can compare.
Libre distros. in particular need to support one another, not find reasons to
trash each other. Blag will find a niche just like Trisquel has, will be
most interesting if they go LTS.
