I don't think it would be appropriate to post it to debian-devel. It's a policy issue. It belongs here. I suppose one could make a concession by posting an update every n weeks to debian-devel listing recent policy happenings and encouraging people over to -policy to discuss them. Let me be on the record as supporting Phil as 'manager' or 'arbitrator' or 'chairman' (whatever we want to call it).
