I was talking with someone about this - George Percivall, I believe -
and the intent is that such a list would be promoted to the Geospatial
communities, who are largely outside of Apache, to engage them in the
discussion happening here. As such, the simplest possible email address
has the benefit of people remembering it when it appears on slides at
other Geospatial conferences.  geospatial-dev@community.a.o is quite a
mouthful.
