Wait what? You blocked me from returning as a developer. Based on my
human relation skills, or in your opinion lack there of....

How would you think I be fit for foundation Trustee? Which is a liason
type role, at least with outside entities. That makes  little to no
sense. A developer need technical skills more than personal. A Trustee
needs personal and not so much technical.... Great logic!

It seems that foundation membership been messed up pretty bad. This
seems to be the list of members. Which seems to only be developers.

Per the by laws, one is only removed from membership via voluntary
request, and/or majority vote of the trustees to remove a member.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Bylaws#Section_4.4._Continuation_of_Membership
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Bylaws#Section_4.8._Voluntary_Withdrawal_from_Membership
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Foundation:Bylaws#Section_4.9._Termination_from_Membership

I may have requested removal, I seem to recall such. Though I am not
sure others have. Seems the foundation is missing many members. Unless
the trustees voted to remove many others.

Also developers are not automatically added per bylaws. They must
apply for such.
