And when it comes to FESCo and election, on numerous occasion while participating in the community I heard from several individuals that did not want to run for FESCo due to the fact there where always they same Red Hat employees hogging every seat ( Kyle cropping up to hold that pattern true these days ) preventing fresh perspective from the community or just even within Red Hat from taking place because people where afraid going against the stone age fractiont. ( which again just highlight the fact there there is something significantly wrong with the election process since there is not enough diversity in individuals nominating themselves to participates in various governing entities within the project. )
Alot of good thing he did you say like backstabbing Lennart or when he tries to force me to adjust my cron to time feature migration to accommodates his cloud /container vision then hijack my cron to time migration feature proposal which does not even make sense since to be able to implement what he suggested we would have had to create several new targets and at that point you are forced to write new proposal and we could just as well migrate everything to timer units, which we technically cant at this point and probably never will since cronie and timer units aren't interchangeable components. They complement each others shortcoming. 
Every time I was going to confront him on certain things he said on that ticket or even trying to understand why he was so obsessed with this he conveniently was absent from the FESCo meeting.
The fact is that anyone that does not have shit for brains has spotted far greater leadership material in Stephen Gallagher who has been part of the new future vision from the get go while showing true leadership skills while doing so, If the underlying political move for Matt's choosing boiled down to support the RHEL 8 next release as in the.next and wg proposal. 
If that was not the reason for Matt being chosen you have much more capable people leading the project both within Red Hat and outside it with women candidates taking precedence over male once ( With Máirín probably top on that list after years of dedication to the project or Ruth ) .
In the end of the day what Matt has demonstrated is that he cant be trusted for anything else than leading his left foot in front of the right.

(Note that I am speaking in generalities here; I have no specific information as regards any of those particular people. I'm just pointing out a possibility you seem to be overlooking.)

The possibility I did not take into account was that people that are behind this process within Red Hat did, since up to this point they have been smarter than this ( which indicates they might have been replaced ) so one can only speculate what went through Denise mind when she signed this off for the project and who managed to cloud her judgment since she should have stopped this nonsense from happening in the first place.
