+1. I think when these things have come up they have stimulated a good variety of views and served to explore ways of making good decisions. The fact that the last is open subscription supports that dynamic too.

I thought I'd seen AfDs there a number of times over last couple years. Don't know easy way to search through archives.
If they are NOT appropriate, and anything else not appropriate, good
idea
to put it in the message footer of each message.

I'm confused too about when posting to this list might constitute a violation of [[WP:CANVAS]], or if it does whether we ought to pay
attention
to it. Is posting to this public list an example of what the guideline
calls
"stealth canvassing": "Contacting users off-wiki ..."?
There have been several occasions where issues directly relevant to the treatment of women on Wikipedia have arisen, and I've been hesitant to mention them because they involved an RfC, AfD or similar.
I can understand the concern, but on the other hand it's leading to
people
who might be interested in an issue not being told about it.
What do others think? Where should we draw the line?

Seems to me that this list is a very appropriate place to discuss these matters; obviously we don't have a hive mind which agrees on all topics under discussion!
