So, people who remain on the debian mailing lists have a poor
understanding of what should appear a good mailing list, but having
those same people express their opinion about what is good on a
mailing list will improve matters? In short, we are going to use
the "buggy" list memberships's views to repair the lists?
Why would it do that, rather than form a feedback loop and further
divide the lists, encouraging the "vocal minorities" to engage in
anonymised risk-free backstabbing of each other? Are you proposing a
simultaneous "come back and rate the mailing lists" campaign or some
other action to activate the "silent majority"?

So this is even suggested to become a type of Whuffie?
Did I miss the point of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom?
