This is your inference, absolutely not my intent, please don't assume bad intent. This isn't conductive to a reasonable change. There is no accusation here.
You jump to a conclusion of "incompete" or "lack of fitness-for-duty" when I actually just assumed miscommunication or using words/title beyond your actual intent. I actually even finished in this sense writing that your intent may have been "we don't have lead maintainers in MLIR and the area team is playing catch-all when needed".

> An allegation is a statement affirming a wrongdoing that is yet to be proved. It appears to me that you are affirming, or at least hypothesizing, that the Area Team somehow did something wrong. 

Fact is that I disagree with the conclusion of a process for which I don't have access to the reasoning, and for which despite asking privately I couldn't get clearer information.
But the hypothesis I made aren't an "affirmation of a wrongdoing", I actually rather see the opposite here: it's me trying to assume good intent in your side and reconcile your proposal accordingly (cf the paragraph above).

> My apologies, I may be misreading the text, but I don't really see anything that looks like a question or ends with a question mark. If you have a specific question there, please highlight that, I will try to provide the best answer possible.

Well let's just turn one comma into a question mark without changing the sense of the sentence (I made a guess, it was a call for clarifications):

>  it is possible that the MLIR area team didn't think it through and use themselves as "default"**? B**ut in this case which case I would argue to explicitly say: "we don't have lead maintainers in MLIR and the area team is playing catch-all when needed".

I also asked you questions privately (with actual questions marks!) but that hasn't led any clear answers so far.
