That's my fault. I had told Geir to post a "heads up" to the PMC list. The
reason was as you stated. No, it isn't where the PMC lives, and yes, all of
the discussion should happen on [EMAIL PROTECTED] But empirically, "heads up"
messages to pmc@ have been generating more response from PMC members.

That seems a reasonable expectation to me, so long as it is a shared
understanding by PMC members. It is not clear to me that everyone has
shared that understanding in the past, but it is explicitly stated now, and
anyone who has a problem with it should say so.
My guess has been that people have such a high volume of e-mail that they
are actively filtering their messages, and have their mail clients filtering
PMC mail (view now) differently from general@ (view when I have time) mail.
"When I have time" doesn't really work when there is a vote in place, and
I'd rather not deal with someone complaining after the fact that they
object, and didn't see the vote. On a monthly basis, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tends to run between 1 and 5 (rarely) messages per day, so it is not an
excessive amount.
