Finally, yes. I've written up the subject on the Incubator wiki and linked to it from the proposal guide. https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/MailingListOptions http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-mailing-lists I'm having second thoughts about where it should live permanently, though. The Incubator's documentation could withstand some reorganization and I'm contemplating some proposals which I'll put forth in a little while.
