Fix Eelco's Nix team title #1410
Conversation
Having spoken with Nix team members, it looks like all are equally empowered, and that it's inaccurate to call Eelco the team lead. See also https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-foundation-board-giving-power-to-the-community/44552/7?u=infinisil

As @infinisil describes, this is an adjustment in our external communication, so not a demotion. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am fine with doing this or not doing this.
I think it is important to note that if we do this, it is not in any way meant to punish or demote @edolstra, etc. It is merely updating the website to reflect a reality that has been true the entire time. I don't want this to be seeing as an "additional purging" or anything of that sort.
On one hand, I am sure casual observers will incorrectly assume it is just a punishment. Bummer. On the other hand, it will correctly demonstrate that @edolstra truely does not aspire to BFDL powers, and that will also go noticed.

I agree with @roberth that the current state of website looks like an innocent mistake based on how other teams operate.
