I think this would be a moment to review the description at

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

which is rather historic and looks funny nowadays...but still...where
was it, ever, said that foundation-l should be a kind of
"announce-only" list?  In fact, I very much favor it for discussions,
if only because you can actually (selectively) quote people's replies
which is as of yet still not possible in MediaWiki (as deployed
currently on the Wikimedia wikis -- talking about extensions which are
not switched on is somewhat pointless here)
