What I don't read in that blog post is anything about the coreboot project being a democracy.
I'd normally find such a statement very disappointing, but I'm pretty certain you're off on that one. I'm not sure how involved you've been in coreboot public before leaving SAGE -- I've mostly known your name from patches Marc submitted. What I can tell you with great confidence is that the picture you try to portray of coreboot has historically not been true.
I've been around for a long time, maybe too long, and I remember many an issue having been publicly discussed. I remember cases where things were brought up for discussion, and the so-called leadership team decided the exact opposite of what it had intended. I remember the switch to git and gerrit, and I remember seeing quite some back and forth on the issue.
I'm not sure why you have such a dark picture of coreboot in your mind. I've haven't heard anyone from the so-called "coreboot leadership" team make the claims you do. I'm sorry you feel that way, but that shouldn't be a reason to shut down Paul's proposal
Please note that these are just my own personal thoughts on these subjects
Exactly!
