You have to demonstrate that it has been achieved, usually be giving a link to the discussion where (almost) everyone was in agreement. All you had was a mailing list thread where not many people agreed and very few people participated at all.
Ah. Just looking through the list of current mailing lists: Checkuser-l, functionaries-l, arbitration-l (sic), mediation-l (sic), accounts-en-l, OTRS-en-l (also de, fr, etc.) - quite a few private lists, actually, for such an open project.
I also note lists like daily-image-l and daily-article-l etc. - spam basically. Greenspun? 25K was enough to get someone's name as a project and mailing list title? Doesn't look really resonant with the illustrators, either.
I get the picture, and if there were a relevant substantive point to be made here it would be something like 'There cannot be a resolution-l mailing list, regardless of how well-purposed and useful it will be, simply because we already have so many useless mailing lists, as well as private ones that people don't have access to.
And am I to understand that all of these have been vetted in accord with the same process you promote? Hm. Links, please.
