Very true, but there are two other issues above and beyond X.org
revising its participation and voting:
o many stakeholders in the X community are not involved in XFree86 at
all; how are their voices heard and weighed?
o and there is also the meta issue of how processes in X.org get defined
and evolve.
FSG is another possibility; I haven't studied their bylaws and processes.
I was asked to stand for nomination there a year or so ago, but due
to my other commitments, decided against before studying its organization,
processes and bylaws.
