A suggestion I've been pondering is to expand
[[Wikipedia:Mailing

annotated and subsectioned to keep the "unofficial" stuff properly
segregated of course. The mailing lists don't have to be public or open,
IMO merely listing their existence and subject matter would be very
useful for keeping paranoia levels down.
This strikes me as hard to enforce. The cyberstalking list started as
a cc: list and was then put on Wikia; anyone who feels they have
something to say to more than one person without a mob inquiry and
consequent Orlowskiing would just keep it as a cc: list. I don't see
it as feasible to regulate cc: lists.
I wasn't considering cc: lists at all, there isn't really anything to
actually link to in those cases. I was only thinking of the sorts of
mailing lists like cyberstalking or wpinvestigations, which had a
mailman server and such.
"Enforcement" probably wouldn't be a hard and fast thing either, if it
were simply accepted and customary that any mailing lists where
Wikipedia's the topic of discussion got listed there I imagine most
would wind up being listed there by someone or another.
