There were a few reasons that I didn't include a "separate mailing list"
option in the vote. There seemed to be more a little more support for
just having them come here to the dev list, and it's hard to effectively
call a vote on three options instead of two, so I picked the one that
would be more likely to pass.
Also, while I might technically have the ability to call for a vote on
anything, it's bad form to call a vote on something that you personally
cannot make happen. Since I do not have the ability to set up a new
mailing list, it would be the equivalent of me forcing more mailing list
duties on Pier.
Basically, I did the most that I could do. The only people who could
realistically called for a vote on a new mailing list are Jon (who isn't
in favor of it), Pier (who I think is fed up with the whole business at
this point :), and Craig (who didn't say one way or the other). As I
said, I don't personally care how they get into my inbox, so long as
they do. So in calling a vote, I simply played the percentages.
Incidentally, we miss you over, Paulo ;-)
