And even that only happened after we started discussions with Mike and
Brandon on how to do moderation with the four of us. I was happy we
were going to do this together and so I posted about it to the list to
start the discussion about it and introduced Mike and Brandon to the
team:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2019-11/msg00007.html
And I believe we had consensus on how to word some of that better after
some on-list and off-list discussions. And were just about to do so.

I am happy we achieved consensus on how to handle moderation on this
list and I do hope it works out better and makes the list a more
productive place for discussions, but I am completely demotivated now
to help out with that.

It does add a nice meta-governance discussion theme to the list :)

I do certainly agree with that.
