You're distorting things. Asking for an user base pool is always part of
your strategy of last defense: playing the advocate of the nebulous user
base. If an user has a strong opinion about our maintainceship the best
he has to do is to propose patches and/or to become a maintainer. Of
course, there is the users mailing list, the bug-tracking system that I
read and if the request is reasonable an action follows. A maintenance
decision is a maintainer or group of maintainers decision.
