This is completely different. LibreOffice is a separate project with a separate infrastructure and community. The subscription of an ASF list to a LibreOffice list is nothing more than a communication link between two distinct entities. The proposal here is to not create a separate project with a separate management structure but to simply host incompatible code externally and manage it from within an ASF PMC.
