Exactly what you are talking about "content about Wikipedia,
*particularly* when not specific to any one language"...
In terms of the original design, you are correct that wikipedia-l was
intended for this. However, if I may attempt to restate Asaf's point, that
list has no meaningful activity, and it is counterproductive to insist that
people use it when this list can serve the purpose. Initiating a productive
conversation on this list is already work enough, we should not multiply
the effort needed by requiring that someone also revive a comatose mailing
list.
That being said, if someone else wanted to take on the second task
(reviving wikipedia-l) and forwarded this message there, or started a
parallel conversation, I don't think that would be particularly
problematic. But as this situation indicates, there is a challenge involved
in determining how to use our multiplicity of lists with adjacent and
potentially overlapping topic areas. I suspect the activity patterns into
which we have drifted should tell us something about the optimum
configuration of lists and topics, in the same way that say, Wikiversity
languishing while Wikidata flourishes should tell us something about the
optimum number of projects we can support.
