1.  I assume the listmasters are subscribed to debian-devel, so when I posted the original discussion there I considered that I was including them.


2.  As described in the text that you snipped, this issue is bigger than just the lists.  For example, it also applies to the BTS.  As such, I don’t think the listmasters are the correct place to address it for the entire Debian project.  I consider the discussion on debian-devel to have be the correct initial place, followed by this GR when it became apparent that some people were strongly opposed to the proposal and a consensus decision was not possible.
