As you point out, community managers basically work on improving
communication in projects with separated circles of participants,
like silently working in-house developers, and a wider community
of outsiders. Do we really have such situation in GNOME?

What would be the inner circle then? 
How did it happen?

Do we really want to consolidate such unfortunate situation, or should
that inner circle rather be broken again?
