Thanks for working on this bug report and for mentioning this, it's
indeed important that we discuss this part.  I've three comments in
reply to your inquiry to advance this discussion:

1) how is the non-openness of this request any different from the
   listmaster@lists.d.o mail alias (or many others that we have in many
   @*.debian.org domains, fwiw) that Cord has Cc:-ed?

   (Note: as I've mentioned recently, I'm generally *against* those
   aliases, but I'm even more against double standards)

2) I haven't asked anything which is not allowed by the mailing list
   template at <http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/HOWTO_start_list>
   . Should it be amended?

3) I've addressed your point in my request:

  and I believe it answers your point. If you don't think it is the
  case, can you explain why?

Cheers.
