Given the tight connection between fd.o and X.Org and the fact that X.Org has such a governing body it seemed obvious to consider extending X.Org's mandate to fd.o. Quite a bit of background on fd.o leading up to this has been covered by Daniel Stone at XDC 2018 and was covered really well by Jake Edge of LWN [1]. One question that is briefly addressed in the LWN article and was thoroughly discussed by members of the X.Org boards, Daniel Stone, and others in hallway discussions is the question of whether to extend the X.Org membership to projects hosted on fd.o but outside the purpose of the X.Org foundation as enacted in its bylaws. Most people I talked to would prefer not to dilute X.Org's mission and extend membership only to contributors of projects that follow X.Org's purpose as enacted in its bylaws. Other projects can continue to be hosted on fd.o but won't receive X.Org membership for the mere reason of being hosted on fd.o.

If it's not widely controversial the final version of the patch will be put to a vote at the 2019 X.Org elections.
