The issues are ongoing, and well beyond the present case - fundamentally that too many people on Commons don't want it to be a service project. This is unworkable and must be remedied.

The way the governance is set up at the moment is no different to any other project. Maybe if it is to be a "service project", the governance - particularly the way admins are selected - should be different from stand-alone projects.
