This is a request by two developers (and not by the council). But I
would like to answer one of your questions.

The Gentoo Developer community has used GLEP 39 [1] for its
self-organization for the last 12 years. Our "real motivation" (speaking
as individual developers) is to keep it that way.

I fail to see how trying to get an affirmation that the Gentoo
Foundation is still on board with GLEP 39 is "acting against the
community".

We have had a very public case of prometheanfire pushing for dissolving
the current metastructure and reorganizing the community under the
Foundation. Andreas and I, personally, disagree with that.

Best,
Matthias
