Agreed.  This is a problem.  I’ve tried to help make current clc folks aware of this privately a time or two this past year :(

The only private part should be public coms on their discussion group to record voting on stuff that isn’t unanimous. Anything beyond that fails to align with healthy collaborative discourse norms

More concerningly, only ~2-3 members of the current clc seem to be actively involved in public discussions on the library list or GitHub.  And a deep misunderstanding that they need be maintainers of stuff that falls under the umbrella of core libraries now.  Which is a fiction invented only on the past two years.  Clc was formed to help guide decisions on base and be a suport for core libraries authors/maintainers.  Not as an authority over those maintainers.  

There’s def problems with stuff and a lot of folks have privately expressed a lot of frustration about this over the past 12 months.
