There was a video meeting, and in that meeting we agreed to discuss the
issue on the devuan-dev mailing list. Golinux knows this, because she was
there. So, there must be another reason.

Video has some advantages over audio only. It helps to see facial
expressions, to read the lips of those who speak other varieties of
English and to be able to easily know who is talking. I find audio-only
conferencing to be disorienting and confusing. That said, I am not
suggesting that we exclude the audio-only attendees. That would be worse
than my minor discomfort.
