A simple analogy, people in the rotating seats are to the permanent TC
members as debian-maintainers are to debian-developers.
DM has some definite advantages, people more autonomy and have a whole
lot more to show when going for DDship, and some flaws, it makes the
process of becoming a DD longer and possibly more tedious (depending
on perspective) than the question and answer process.
The same could be said for rotating TC members. So, I think it worth
considering the larger perspective that the project may view the TC as
insular, and that possibly something should be done about that.
Best wishes,
Mike
