Exactly.

Again, noone's ever intended that anyone should become official Gentoo 
staff without taking the staff quiz. Now, some people seem to have a 
problem with someone being global moderator or admin without being 
official staff. I don't, and I have no intention on booting anyone, should 
there be anyone, who don't want to go through the process to become 
official Gentoo staff.

FWIW, there are non-staff bug wranglers, aren't there? To me, that's 
essentially the same thing as non-staff moderators.

Going back to the beginning, the status of the Forums is somewhat 
undefined as is is not listed on [1], but there are still people on [2] 
who have the Forums as responsibility. Our purpose with the glep was 
twofold. One is to put the Forums somewhere on [1]. In fact, it always 
should have been there. The second, that being *Forum* staff should be 
enough reason to become official Gentoo staff. The latter requiring taking 
the staff quiz. Nevertheless, we do not want to force anyone to become 
official Gentoo staff.
