HWBP is an offshoot of an existing project, not a brand new project. And certainly not a transplant of an entire community from one website to another.
As has been mentioned before, HLP is not a democracy. Just because a bunch of people like something doesn't necessarily mean that will happen. There need to be good reasons for it. I am not opposed to a Starshatter board per se, as I've said before; it sounds like a cool idea. But cool ideas don't go anywhere if they have nobody to move them along.
The core problem is that The E wants this to be a transplant of an existing Starshatter community, but he has no way to contact any of them, and none of the existing Starshatter community members have shown up at HLP anticipating an imminent move.
I haven't seen anyone give a satisfactory answer to the problems I raise. In fact, I think this effort would succeed better as a new hosted project request than a community transplant. If so, then The E would need to approach this like a new hosted project application, demonstrating internal organization, a staff, a website, and verifiable progress, like others have had to do.
