The Device Driver community is not part of the merger under discussion,
so why does that matter?

The User Group community not only responded, it was a bit over-represented,
naming 88 Core Contributors, almost 1/3rd of the the total voting base for
the initial elections - Marketing named 6 Core Contributors, so neither one
would be considered defunct, though if you wanted to hold a vote of all
these people, I expect you'd have a hard time getting a majority of them
to even cast ballots.
