I suspect that if 3 ASF'ers want to discuss a topic via email, and think a mailing list would help, there should be a mechanism to simply have it created, bang. Just my 2 cents =)
Mailing lists without PMC oversight should be treated with extreme caution. Lists without the necessary oversight might expose the ASF to unwanted liability. The ASF isn't a personal soapbox medium: it's meant to facilitate collaborative software projects.
For example, this list (community@) is a *horrible* waste of time that adds little value: almost every topic here has a more appropriate list elsewhere in the ASF (or, ideally, outside of the ASF). But, people seem to use this list as a dumping ground and are often too lazy to think about what the 'proper' list is - instead they just post to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bitter? Nah. ;-) -- justin
I completely disagree with this view.
