I don't know how you'd feel about it, but for me, it's a refreshing feeling to know that Stefan and the others are listening to my opinions and such about things engine-related.

I've helped Stefan on Zone on and off for the past 2 years. He almost always listens to me when I bring up an issue with him.
But, I do agree with you on that part of actively testing unreleased material, if that's actually factual information. Then, yes, I would agree that it would be beneficial. But, you have to take into consideration that scripting is like a sport, where scripters are more skilled in certain aspects of scripting than others. I'm afraid like mostly every hiring that takes place on Graal, even this one will be based on personal bias rather than whose capable of actually helping.
You could be more talented than Stefan with GScript, but it doesn't mean that you'd be a good part of the GST. Take that into consideration.

I disagree wholeheartedly.
Separate teams that major on one subject rather than one team that varies their major to different subjects is much more effective and is much more capable of producing more
quality work.

I disagree due to the question of activeness. If you don't recall, she's been global in the past, and that didn't turn out too well.
Does she have the talent? Yes, but as stated above, talent isn't everything.
