I started a thread on Wikien-l last month suggesting
we start a
dispute resolution mailing list:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2009-June/101428.html
Responses were largely positive, and what little criticism the idea
got (much of it from Thomas Dalton) was fairly easy to deal with.
I filed bug report requesting the list's creation on June 27, which
was assigned to C.Bass
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19414 . I also emailed
C.Bass directly.
Responses were rather mixed - there were different proposals being
bounced around. As I recall, a list to discuss general dispute
resolution matters and perhaps to draw attention to specific disputes
has some support, but I don't recall much support for a list where
disputes would actually be resolved (which I think was your original
proposal). I don't think the list can be created until it is agreed
what it will actually be for.
