Bringing the PMC's conclusion back to this list, we are happy to start with the following arrangement:
- Doc/spreadsheet/etc readable by dev@ (aka the public), writable by some group of contributors to set up a queue of news - Any member of PMC approves and executes the posts, with enough time elapsing to consider it lazy consensus Any mistake transcribing this conclusion is my own. And of course nothing is permanent, but we try and iterate.
