Don't be sorry. First of all, it's all "imho". Second, it's not that it's too much trouble. It's a matter of management and efficiency. Small and large FOSS projects tend to be rather conservative when it comes to opening new lists and the way it's supposed to work is not that if you have a mailing list, something will happen, but the opposite (if something happens with enough momentum it becomes threads and threads of discussion and actual work, then create a mailing list). The risk is that you end up with twenty different mailing list you won't follow,but worse, most of these mailing lists won't have an actual workig purpose.I think if there's a team that is fixing bugs on Base and liaising with documentation volunteers right now but facing communication issues, then there might be an interest. On the other hand, these things tend to evolve overtime and the situation can change :-) ...
