I think we can handle this without granting us any special powers, I
like it that we don't have roles actually!
We can discuss, debate, agree to common goals, I don't think we are
going to enter into conflict, we hear each other, we communicate, I
think that's a really good thing in GNU Guix :-D
Lots of other communities enter into conflict fast and stop
communicating, GNU Guix is not that, there's a spirit of goodwill of
everyone and that's really pleasing to live as a contributor and user.
