Just to add my voice in the conversation...
I also don't think it's a good idea to have a mailing list to have dispute resolution to happen. Too much can happen. People will be unable or unwilling to join, etc. *About* resolution is another matter--I have no opinion about that.
I also find it kind of ironic that a discussion about dispute resolution will cause a dispute.

Hm. Well, as for myself, I was striving for unanimity.
You won't get it. Dispute resolution is too controversial a topic for that. You might manage consensus on some fairly minor proposals, but I can't see unanimity happening for anything non-trivial.
Well we can count on your support at least. That's called progress, in my humble opinion.
No, you can't. I don't support any proposal for a new mailing list for dispute resolution. However, I won't object to one for discussion *about* DR (that's the difference between consensus and unaminity - for consensus you just need people to not object, for unanimity you need their support). I do object to a mailing list where DR is actually intended to happen.
