When the list was created many years ago it was with the intent to serve
as a forum for technical non-vendor-specific discussions.  This has not
changed.

It did not cross my mind at the time the list was set up, nor did anyone
make such a suggestion.  Since there were no ASN.1-specific list at the
time, "asn1" seemed a fine name.

There is no such list at the moment.  Product announcements typically go
to the France Telecom web site, where they are listed.  I think FT would
be a good place to host an "asn1-announce" mailing list.  Hmmm ..., or
perhaps the ASN.1 Consortium would also be a good place for such a list.
