The listmaster team has in the past had grave difficulties with documenting
proper procedures, even with simply communicating its issues with bug
reports to the submitters.
I would apologize in the name of the team, were it not for the fact I was
not a member of it up to very recently. (There, now that we have the blame
cast off to someone else, can we continue with this conversation normally? :)
The reason there was no action in this particular case is mostly that there
has been no real policy on whether to create lists for each package, and
more importantly, that no need for this list has been shown.

I beg to differ... although, never mind, that statement sounds like a simple
knee-jerk reaction.
