The reason I asked for an announcement on debian-devel is that
we have been without a policy mangaer for a while, and people should
be informed of this move here in the policy group.
Secondly, Christian used to announce his ``weekly'' reports on
debian-devel, so people really interested could participate on
debian-policy; the announcement made it clear that all discussions
happen on the policy mailing list, but it did keep the larger
community informed of things being discussed here.
Doing it this way allows people to participate in a specific
policy issue even if they are not generally paying attention to the
policy mailing list; instead of presenting them with a fait
accompli.
I am quite against closed door sessions.
As to the long term, I would like to hear from the projet
leader, and to have the constitution passed, so that a tech committee
is in place to be accessible for arbitration.
