Well, Jane was right to point out the intended purpose of the developer chat but you performed a worthwhile service by checking it out and at least making people aware that it exists, that there is a decision-making process at the highest levels, involving many people, and that Matt doesn't just magically pull each shiny new version of WordPress from his behind.

So, keep getting your hands and ears into everything, you are gaining an evermore detailed knowledge of the WordPress universe and that is healthy for the community as a whole.
