Why? It is the most thought out psot in this and all other related 
threads.

Although some of what was proposed would not work, given mailing lists 
don't work like web based forums (can't "lock" a thread etc)./

There are a couple of peace makers in here who do act professionally, 
well, most of the time (which reminds me, Barts been very quiet in
recent weeks) but I for one would hesitate remaining here if certain 
"regulars" got on that council, they think are big enough control freaks
now, imagine how they'd be with "power", I think to work there must be a 
private and closed list for moderators and lost owners only, and any 
warning or "advice" sent to a user of the list must be CC'd to that list, 
else it is invalid, and all actions taken against anyone must be reported
to that list, so there is no chance of secrecy for any action they take or
seek to take, also, being a hopefully low traffic lsit, the list owners 
and any appointed Ubuntu "staff" can review the list to ensure things are 
going smoothly.
