I personally didn't respond to you because it took far more effort to
figure out what you were concerned about than I had time available to
spend. [I suspect the other listmasters reacted similarly.]
After spending a bit more time, I'm still not sure what you're talking
about or what you think should be changed.

This is defining a mailing list, not listing the available mailing
lists.

In what way? Please provide a patch to the wml, as that communicates
far more succinctly what you think should be changed, and how it
should be changed.

It's not clear at all what you're asking for in #2 and #3 (which I've
elided.) Again, please provide patches to the wml or as concise and
precise set of changes as possible.
