-1 on a PMC to coordinate the coordination of a cross-project coordination :-)

I just put the following quote in a deck I'll be using lately, seems 
applicable...

My opponent’s reasoning reminds me of the heathen, who, being asked on what the 
world stood, replied, “on a tortoise.” But on what does the tortoise stand? “On 
another tortoise.” 
Joseph Barker (1854)

It's a mailing list, it's not that important in and of itself. If you want a 
home for the kick-off (e.g. this conversation) and the eventual retirement (if 
that ever comes) then ComDev is the place. It might make sense to formally 
assign the ownership of the list to ComDev so that should it ever reach 
retirement that PMC is empowered to request infra remove it. But otherwise it’s 
just a list.
