No, I'm saying that when the XFCE and LXDE SIGs say they have 7-10 members
each, how am I supposed to know that they actually have only one or two
active development members, as you state? I'm not psychic.

You stated that a group is 'clearly flawed and desperately in need of change'
when they're not following a process that you don't follow in your own SIGs.
I can't read that as anything other than hypocritical. If you care about it a
lot more, how about working to enact some of these changes (summaries to
fedora-devel-list, for example), rather than constantly complaining?
