I'm not really sure what you're referring to here.  We have a 
pyblosxom-checkins mailing list and all the CVS checkins (and messages) 
get sent to that public mailing list.  Is that what you're talking about?

I signed onto a couple of Debian mailing lists dealing with packaging web 
applications (debian-webapps and webapps-common-discuss).  I figure 
lurking on them will help me figure out what the issues involved are and 
maybe I can help mold the policy they're building.

We'll see.
