I agree Maillists are great for long range planning and also make a very good 
discussion medium if used properly,  This was important enough to Ubuntu that 
they published http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette 
in order to make THEIR maillists work best for everyone involved's benefit!

Google ubuntu-us-wa and see what you get.  :)

One ought to also take a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct 
especially take a good look at the last paragraph.  Notice the CoC link is 
published on the maillist subscribe page found here;  
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-wa , directly following 
the bold letters declaring, " Subscribing to ubuntu-us-wa "
