I also think this is a good idea. Several times in the past I'd loved to 
mail such a mailing list when I faced webapp packaging issues.

I think this is a good idea.

I also think that we should have a specific  section in the Debian 
Policy for answering common questions such as:
  - where should I put CGI files if they're not architecture dependant?
    (such as PHP or Perl scripts).
  - Should we provide template files as conffiles?

We also might strongly suggest the use of wwwconfig and dbconfig in such 
a policy section...

Anyway, if such a mailing list arise, I'll be in the party ;)
