Are you really interested in MAKING this happen, or are you just
stating that it COULD happen? I have a feeling that you're just
postulating this theoretical possibility to make some kind of obscure
point.

Ah yes! But it's that much easier again to not do it at all --
especially if it's not necessary, expedient, or useful.

I can state unequivocally that there will be as much traffic as on
the majority of other debian-* mailing lists.
Anyways, I still am unconvinced of the necessity for a pan-scheme
mailing list. I see the collection of interests around Guile to be
more cohesive, and to have more potential for discussion, than the
collection of interests around all Scheme implementations.
