E.g. any comment Denny made on Phabricator now being read in the light that
he was a board member.
I've found this frustrating myself, at times. For example, I've avoided
commenting in my volunteer capacity on VisualEditor and Flow
related-threads because of how it may be perceived to have staff commenting
on such topics, in spite of the fact that I have never worked on
VisualEditor or Flow in my time at the Wikimedia Foundation.
I don't know what the best course of action to resolve these issues is, but
I am interested in such discussions.
Thanks,
Dan
