Why nationalities?

I will argue that is the case as of today and would like to see potential counter examples (if any) so that we can address those -or- file the point above as FUD. Note that contributions are generally reviewed and accepted by our group of maintainers per the MAINTAINERS file (not the steering commitee) and releases driven by our release managers. Gerald
