-1 (unbinding)

because this vote, and the "dot it" slip, reminds me of a problem of
relevance when "dotting the i's and crossing the t's" when framing any vote,
so to speak

in this case, would suggest that there may be a significant difference
between the options of:

(a) closing women@ and
(b) setting up an autoresponder

agreeing to option (a) would mean that someone looking for the keyword
"women@" in order to discuss an issue that he/she/they may initially feel
fits into such a category, may not know to search for a "dev@" possibility
instead, and so remain silence(d)

on the other hand, agreeing to option (b) could help mitigate this
circumstance

but as the vote is currently construed, it is not possible to distinguish
between options (a) and (b), and so a simple vote count at the end of this
vote may miss the point

personally, would like to keep a place for women@ if only for such aesthetic
redirection for the time being at least ...
