Mike, thanks for your comments. Again, there are several reasons why
this at least can be, if not should be, discussed here and not just on
wikien-l:

1) Mailing lists are foundation projects hosted on the wikimedia.org domain.
2) New lists are set up by a foundation employee who acts in an
official functionary capacity.
3) The resolution-l list would not be limited to en.wiki, and an
eventual forked for English only usage will, appropriately, be
discussed there.
4) The issue was discussed on wikien-l and, for some unknown reason,
the responsible party did not bother to participate in dealing with a
general matter that is, correctly or not, officially charged to him.
5) This list has higher visibility.

Any similar questions, comments, or concerns?
