I would like to ask what you have done in your past term to find out
overworked core roles, and what happened to ease the work load on
these core roles. Are you satisfied with the success of the measures
you took?

This could be eased by not electing independent people, probably
forming a team incapable of doing work, but by electing lists of
people that have formed themselves before. This would, however, of
course, need a big constitution change.

past, I have learnt that the project also has a history of rejecting
people wanting to help. I am quite disappointed by the project's
handling of - for example - people who would like to contribute
additional buildds for architectures that notoriously lagged behind.
Instead of allowing in more buildds, we have managed to scare people
successfully operating buildds away, resulting in a net _loss_ of
buildd time. Do you see this as a problem?
Greetings
