Communication Improvements/frustrations

[Dustin Krysak]

"We do also intend to appoint a dedicated person focused on community
processes rather than Canonical processes; while they won't be expected
to *do* this work, they would be a natural coordinator and able to
provide more insight to all the groups that share the archive for their
different goals."

This is both great news and a good step in the right direction. It would at
least get everyone marching towards the same goal.
