Maybe people likes more the online discussion than the mailing list ^^

Well, the media are there, and people can't be forced to discuss if they
don't want, that's one of the principles of Debian as a voluntary effort and
one of its weakness. If you solve it for d-w you'll probably solve it for the
whole Debian, which would be great.
D-w has revealed lately as an irc-oriented community, so maybe an idea is
encourage people to post to the list the things that flow on irc, not
necesarily in an ordered manner. A kind of minutes, but in a wider sense, and
not only by one person, just anybody who sees an idea and thinks it deserves
to be discussed in depth within the list.
regards,
