While anyone can fix a bug and post an rpm somewhere on the net, many
users only want to draw from "sanctioned" repositories. At this point,
all the burden is on a few wonderful folks at RedHat to fill those
sanctioned repositories. I think this is the problem that RedHat is
trying to avoid by making Fedora a community project and also merging
with the fedora.us team. Why else merge with fedora.us?
We need a way to spread the load, but at the same time providing quality
screens. I assumed that the "Advisory" and "Technical" committees would
address those issues, although I may have been reading too much into
"the duties, responsibilities, and members of the advisory committee
have not been completely decided."
