I don't understand the amount of resistance in following any process at 
all and providing feedback where it matters. If you want the board to do 
something, then communicate what you want to them. Is that a big deal?

Nope but in Fedora if there is a team working together on something it 
would be usually easy to atleast find out who the members are. How do I 
find out who the members are in the desktop team? Who is making the 
decisions and where are they making it in all the previous releases? A 
SIG or sub project is how people organize together in Fedora.

All the work on the desktop in Fedora does goes without any visibility 
and I have already talked to various members about this problem in the 
past. Getting defensive is not going to solve it. You merely end up 
shooting the messenger.
