I suggest creating a github issue for that, with some examples of how
you currently already use such feature in Friendica
https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues

While we all wish that group members will stay engaged in work as much
as they can. Jason can very likely confirm that members of this WG can
also choose offer more occasional contributions according to one's own
time availability.

I see your hands on experience very valuable for this work. I must
admit, that I hope after joining this group you could offer your
feedback on more often but not necessarily regular basis. Of course
without feeling expected to dedicate more time to this work than you can
comfortably allocate. Looking at http://the-federation.info/
Diaspora, Friendica and RedMatrix seem to host biggest number of
federated accounts. If you, Jason and maybe even one more person working
on ths federation, could through joined effort offer us just a little
more feedback, based on your experience with running this federation. I
think together we can come up with much better recommendations!
