Generally I think the spam filtering done for all the other lists is
pretty decent and takes case of most of it.  I've got my own filtering
in case something gets through (and for non-debian lists that don't have
much filtering at all).

It's pretty close I guess.

Yeah, that doesn't bother me too much.

I think that'd be alright, a seperate lists for decision announcements
is fine that requires DD/gpg-signed messages.  Ian's concern seemed to
be more that the committee is required to read all messages to the list,
which I think would still be the case for the 'discussion' list, so I
don't see how this addresses that concern.
