I would actually suggest two lists, if we could do this -
One, an announce-only list which summarized ongoing dispute

Two, discussion.
Perhaps one list, but a regular posting of the announcements, but I think some people would be more interested in just announcements.
I
would participate in both, but I think that giving some people the option to just get the announcements is more respectful of their bandwidth...
I think this is a good refinement of the idea.
I personally don't understand the "announce" format or its usefulness, George, but I have no objection. I don't know now it would be populated either, as it would require DR to get its ducks in a row overall. Maybe not a bad thing, actually, but let's deal with the main discussion list first though.

Stevertigo, from experience I know it takes some time to set up a mailing list (we're talking weeks, not days). Why not start one on Google groups and see how many people sign up?
Risker
It is Wikimedia business. It would not be appropriate to involve a third party.
