Then keep them private and don't just mention them abstractly to achieve
your own agenda.

You are the one who brought it up.

What you don't get is that they were appointed (or nominated by the
community at the time, I forget which) to do the job.  They have done it
well and I don't see any long-time contributors complaining.  You claim to
have all these people behind you who are talking to you privately, but we
are not to know that.  If they wish to have a say, they should say it
themselves, not go whining to you.
