I would have to agree with that sentiment. I've seen so many new
community proposals lately it's making my head spin. While it's exciting
to see interesting growing in the project, the amount of possible
overlap between them is somewhat concerning. It's nice to know that I'm
not alone in this regard.

Indeed, wholeheartedly agree. Too-flat hierarchies make things grind as
much as too-deeply nested ones. Why we can't group by:
Generic Community --+--> High-Volume specialized community 1
+--> High-Volume specialized community 2
+--> ...
+--> Low-Volume "all else in the area"
eludes me. I'm not necessarily using "community" in the sense defined by
the boards. So bad at reading / understanding bureaucracies ...
I.e. in some areas we currently have a very specific coverage, and others
are lost between the cracks and noone knows where/how to ask about those.
So does anyone have a clear idea what being a "community lead" actually
involves ? How much time ? What kind of tasks ? I don't, and with that
magic (non-)word "lead" in it I'm not too keen to find out :(
