Greetings.
Thank you for keeping up the good points.
The TL;DR for the others, of Bradley's posting is:
* Democracy leaves people with a different opinion out, so we need consensus
by talking about the issues.
* The moderation bit on the mailinglist is the problem.
* We should simply ask alioth to remove the bit and set more than one person
as an admin, so we have a »crew« of people who could respond to problems.
* Moving to another provider provokes too many questions.
* Consistency is a key, so breaking up to somewhere else breaks legacy and
archives. (More work.)
* A suggestion to have a domain for a project under which the mailinglist or
the gopher efforts can be seen. (See my comments below.)
