Their scope has been significantly larger than that for quite a while.
Certainly for longer than I've been a dev.

Does that include renewing corporate registrations, filing taxes, and
actually having all of its board slots filled? Historically the
Trustees have been one of the largest threats to the long-term health
of the project.
I realize that they're volunteers, and for the most part they've meant
well. This isn't intended as a slight on them. However, it seems to
me that there is a systemic issue here. Increasing the scope of the
Trustees (or failing to decrease it, if you prefer) seems unwise at
this point, when historically they have not been able to manage the
scope they already have.
