Hmm, that's been said quite a few different places, by Jim Zemlin in the introduction of Andreas for one, as well as:

I can't say for sure that Andreas wrote that, but one would guess he could at least have put a stop to it if he wanted.

And the board does have:

perhaps not in sufficient quantity/quality for your taste, however.
