All this is just IMHO...

FESCo meets every thursday on IRC, discusses issues raised on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule, puts them to a vote and 
communicates the results on f-e-l and in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meetings

We need a FESCo because it seems we need to get decisions on some issues on a 
regular (weekly) basis.

See how many meetings he participated in.

through a vote from the community

Items discussed by the Packaging Committee are reported to FESCo weekly and 
put to discussion within FESCo.  A vote tells whether FESCo approves of the PC 
decisions or not.  Refused items are either re-discussed within the PC, or 
brought to FAB.

I think being in FESCo has no direct relationship with doing work within FE.
Any volunteer with a signed CLA can do work within FE.  Being in FESCo simply 
means that:
 a. you agreed to spend some time each week to discuss FE issues and take
    decisions on those issues in FE's best interest.
 b. you were elected to do that, i.e., a sizeable number of FE contributors 
    think you can be trusted with a.
