If it is a new list is created (or even if this becomes a new
"meta-thread" carried on in Tangents), we could report back every
couple of months to the devel group, to ensure that consensus points
are given for input to the core team of emacs developers for
consideration, discussion, and alignment.  I'll risk speaking for Jean
and say: I think the two of us together could make that "reporting
back regularly" part happen.
