I have two reactions, just my personal view. First, it’s premature to say
anything, we’re still figuring things out. Second, what open source project can
guarantee that things will continue as they were after people left? Or the
larger question, what guarantees can any project really make?
➢ Indeed, over the past few years I have seen an increasing tendency to hide
monumental news in the blog, in press releases etc.
To pick a nit, it’s just the blog. The press release was copied to the blog,
and I don’t know of anything that would qualify as “etc” -- can you remind me?
We started using the blog because we thought it would be a better way to get
higher-quality information out, without being swallowed up by the volume of
email messages.
➢ Anywhere but the well established and independently archived public mailing
lists.
It’s not the same Internet that it used to be… Lots of discussion happens on
GitHub issues these days, which I’m not thrilled with either. (Hey you kids,
get off my lawn.) It seems that posting a note to the lists would be useful
whenever we post a blog entry?

I am biased, but I believe the project is better, by almost any metric, then it
used to be. If you have specific suggestions for how you think it could be
improved, it would be great to see them.
