Agreed. These two duties require two completely different skill sets and
yet have a lot of control and impact on the direction of the distribution.

One thing I have not seen mentioned yet is the possibility of separating
these functions out to two individual, high-level, groups: a
council/board that ONLY handles technical decisions and a devrel that
handles the social issues and direction of Gentoo; both elected by
developers.

We need a group that not only reacts to devrel issues, but will actively
steer the Gentoo culture to create an accountable group of developers
and a better experience for all.
