I appreciate the mention, though I'm afraid I wouldn't be very helpful,
for the same reasons you're concerned about Bruce - though I will still
follow this list and pipe up when I've got something original to say on
foundation-related topics.

I have every confidence that if Bruce says he has the sufficient time to
dedicate to GNOME to be productive, he will be.
