Yes - I'm going to help get an ASF-wide policy on this, but we can
get it sorted out here first.
FWIW the IETF do an equivalent thing (http://www.ietf.org/
maillist.html)
and even have it written on a piece of paper that is thrust into your
hand at the group meetings.
The tiniest nit:

However, there's an issue that's been brought to my attention from
several people, and I wish propose that we explicitly state our
mailing
list policies, as they are now based on "general understandING"
rather
than a written policy that's available to everyone.
I propose the following is added to the top of the mailing list
page on
the site (I've added and published, currently marked as proposed)
and
included in the welcome message for each subscriber, and posted
once a
month to all lists as part of a monthly FAQ :
Apache Harmony mailing lists operate under the following terms :
This forum has been created for public communication about
projects of
The Apache Software Foundation (the "Foundation"), a Delaware
nonprofit
corporation classified as a public charity under 501(c)(3). All
communication intentionally submitted to the Foundation on this
forum
is considered a Contribution to the Foundation unless otherwise
noted
in the communication. The terms and conditions that apply to your
Contributions are defined by either a contributor license agreement
(CLA) signed by you and/or your employer or, if no such CLA is on
file
at the Foundation, by the terms and conditions of Contributions as
defined by the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Further :
1) If you do not wish your post to be a Contribution, please do not
post it. However, in the event that you do, please mark as "NOT A
CONTRIBUTION" at the top of the posting.
2) Do not post any code that is not your original work, or code that
you do not have clear authorization to contribute.
3) Do not engage in detailed discussion of any implementation
that you
have been exposed to unless such implementation is available to
everyone under an open source license or is your own implementation.
4) Under no circumstances will any committer accept code for
inclusion
in our SVN repository contributed on the mailing list unless it
is from
an Authorized Contributor, as defined $link.
(I'm still working on the $link :)
