I would actually suggest two lists, if we could do this -

One, an announce-only list which summarized ongoing dispute resolution
(arbcom cases, RFCs, community discussions of note elsewhere) for
those who find following all the threads on-wiki daunting with real
life time constraints.

Two, discussion.

Perhaps one list, but a regular posting of the announcements, but I
think some people would be more interested in just announcements.  I
would participate in both, but I think that giving some people the
option to just get the announcements is more respectful of their
bandwidth...
