Mark,

If I understand you correctly, there is _no_ problem with the governance
of XFree86. This could be easily demonstrated by solving the the main
perceived problem: contributions are being
ignored/lost/delayed/whatever.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be attempts to do that beyond
starting a bugzilla.

The current leadership needs to show it's leadership by proposing a
coherent solution to to what you yourself have acknowledged as a serious
issue.

However, XFree86's current leaders seem to be doing nothing but
'speaking for themselves'.

Provide leadership and people will stop asking for new ones.
