We need to reset the conversation because it has gotten so far off track
that the point has been completely lost. We need to pay attention and
not get distracted by the shiny objects.

To that I got two responses critical the seat-of-the-pants workflow I am
using and on critical of me personally. Not helpful.
We need to revisit. There are /eleven /people who have committed to
helping out as members of the PPMC or as commiters.
* Brennan has done the Confluence pages, investigated Jira, create the
initial workflow page
* Nathan have been staying busy with the workflow
* Abdelatif has been working a lot with PPMC/committer membership,
monthly status report
* I have been doing all of the commits.
What about the remaining seven people? Is there no one who wants to get
their feet wet? If we are going survive the next months, we all have to
pitch in and work together.
