Hi, I won't take this to the council myself, but I think this should be discussed at the very least: we need a way to limit the council power, since it seems there is nothing to this effect in the metastructure glep. I think that when members of the council, who have total control on gentoo, say things like "I don't feel we should listen to what the dev community thinks", then one should begin to worry. Concretely, I suggest that a reasonable way is created to appeal council decisions. Of course, one should make sure that this won't led to systematic appeals that would only make people lose time (something like "20% of devs must have agreed to this before any vote takes place", or so). If enough people are interested, I'm sure someone will step up to present this to the council, and if not, well, it will just have been another lost email on this list.
