Dear Harsh,
I understand that it can be sometimes frustrating to be answering a bunch of questions from other Wikipedians (including, perhaps me) however it serves a purpose.
You have suggested the formation, on this list, of a new entity. There are two things worth congragulating you here. One, that you are willing to take a lead on the formation of an entity. Second, that you have announced it on this list.
However, this act of creating a new entity comes along with it the responsoibility of answering questions and concerns other members of the community may have. This helps people who want to join in decide and understand what they are getting into.
It also makes things simpler for the teams and groups following your lead. Being a pioneer requires effort because change is resisted. Alternatives will be suggested and the group must stand the test of why another entity may not do the work that this group does.
Do engage with the community here. It may be frustrating and take your
time in the beginning but I believe it would be worthwhile in the long run. This has been my experience.
