Perhaps the usability list has been seen as a bikeshedding list, far from useful, certainly it has been less active in recent years, but it would have been a perfect place to request for involvement (to answer your "why"). Prhaps it could be refocused to be about "user experience", and getting together usability people, designers and artists. With both you and Jeremy Perry who are working hard on the shell design, with Andreas Nilsson and friends¹, with the experienced people from Sun, with designers from OpenSUSE and Ubuntu, in an open but focused channel, we could assert we have a trusted team in charge, and avoid accusations of changes being made by lone runners.
